#Leah Daughtry

[creature-wizard]

So on the topic of whether it's better to refer to Kamala Harris by her first or last name, Politico published an article that's pretty interesting.

So the Harris campaign is deliberately leaning into using her first name:

Fans chanted “Kamala,” not “Harris,” when the vice president looked out into the crowd during her first rally last month as the Democrats’ likely nominee. She grasped the podium, grinning, pointing to supporters waving blue and white “KAMALA” signs passed out by her campaign.

It was branding by design. Within its first 48 hours, the Joe Biden-turned-Harris presidential campaign switched its social media channels from “Biden HQ” to “Kamala HQ.”

And:

And Harris knows the weight her name carries for women, for communities of color — the impact it has for them to see “Kamala” featured prominently in her campaigns. [Lateefah] Simon, who is running for Congress in California, thought about this aspect when she considered her own congressional run.

“I was like, ‘No, it’s not ‘Simon for Congress. It’s Lateefah for Congress.’ Kamala’s name has depth of meaning. It is an ethnic and cultural name. And it was given to her by her mother. Black people are more than our last names. Our last names don’t often tell the story of where we’re from and who we are,” Simon said.

And:

“It is a microaggression and a disrespect because you are refusing to call her by the name that her mama gave her, and that she chooses to be called. In that way, you are dismissing her, you are demeaning her, you are diminishing her and her own agency. It’s just disrespectful. But for her it’s — this is what my name is, call me by my name,” said Leah Daughtry, a longtime Harris ally and Democratic operative.

So, referring to Kamala Harris as "Kamala" isn't inherently disrespectful; if you support her, it's quite the opposite. She's encouraging people to use her first name, and using it can be a way to acknowledge and respect her ethnicity.

Evol Walks Channels Fiery Alter-Ego on New Rock Track “Sleeping with a Ghost”

Today global rock sensation Evol Walks releases her anthemic new single “Sleeping with a Ghost,” co-written & Produced by Brian Howes (Airbourne, Daughtry, Halestorm, Skillet, Nickelback). The thunderous track taps into a harder, more aggressive sound as Australian vocalist Leah Martin-Brown confronts herself head-first with brutal truths and hard-hitting lyrics. As an advocate for AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) and LIVIN (mental health education program), Martin-Brown’s lyrics contain an underlying message of tough love and growth with an empowering rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack. “Sleeping with a Ghost was written as a letter to myself- the parts of me that I didn’t like or didn’t want. By creating this ‘other’ version of myself in this track, I could tell her exactly how I felt- I could tear her down so I could begin rebuilding myself anew.” - Leah Martin-Brown, Vocalist of Evol Walks Evol Walks has been unapologetically kicking down stage doors of iconic venues worldwide since 2014. Their ferocious approach to hard rock is fueled by their “take no prisoners” attitude, classically inspired yet modern guitar riffs, and a lead vocalist who oozes an unrivaled passion, tenacity, and ferocity for all things rock and roll. Formed in Los Angeles, CA by Australian flame-haired songwriter & lead vocalist Leah Martin-Brown, Evol Walks was very quickly revered as an act on a quest for world domination.

‘Stop Sanders’ Democrats Are Agonizing Over His Momentum

‘Stop Sanders’ Democrats Are Agonizing Over His Momentum

Author: Jonathan Martin / Source: New York Times

Brittany Greeson for The New York Times

WASHINGTON — When Leah Daughtry, a former Democratic Party official, addressed a closed-door gathering of about 100 wealthy liberal donors in San Francisco last month, all it took was a review of the 2020 primary rules to throw a scare in them.

Democrats are likely to go into their convention next summer…

[brandonimhotep]

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris‘ senior staff is shaping up to be a proper representation of the voters who are largely credited for her and Joe Biden‘s historic election. Not only are the top three staffers Black but they are also women, a combinatory nod to the group often called the backbone of the Democratic Party. The last addition to Harris’ staff is Tina Flournoy, who was formally picked on Tuesday to be the vice president’s chief of staff. The transition for Flournoy shouldn’t be too difficult since that’s the same role she’s been working in for former President Bill Clinton. Flournoy has also had stints as a senior adviser to Democratic National Convention Chairman Howard Dean and as an Assistant to the President for Public Policy at the American Federation of Teachers. Her bio on the website for Georgetown University — where she graduated from law school – detailed her extensive experience working on behalf of Democrats in positions that include: “traveling chief of staff to 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Finance Director for the Gore 2000 Presidential Campaign and Deputy to the Campaign Manager in the 1992 Clinton/Gore Presidential Transition Office and in the White House Office of Presidential Personnel. Flournoy also served as General Counsel for the 1992 Democratic National Convention. Prior to joining the Convention team, Flournoy was Counsel for the DNC under Chairmen Paul Kirk and Ron Brown.” According to journalist Yashar Ali, Flournoy is part of a group of Black women Democratic operatives and friends who call themselves “the Colored Girls.” They include Donna Brazile, Yolanda Caraway, Leah Daughtry and Minyon Moore. Ali reported Flourny’s hiring first. Flournoy is expected to work closely with Ashley Etienne, who was named as Harris’ chief communications director. Like Flournoy, Etienne has a wealth of experience working for Democrats, including being the special assistant to President Barack Obama and the cabinet communications director at the White House. She was also a spokeswoman for Nancy Pelosi from 2012-2014. (SWIPE LEFT) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdlhkVgGRA/?igshid=fggsgy12gf58

Hi Pietro! You're so cute. My name is Leah and I wanted to ask you, what music do you like? Since you're a runner, I assume you listen to a lot of music, because who doesn't enjoy music while doing sport? Do you have a favorite artist, band or singer? Do you prefer headphones or blasting the music? Has Wanda ever yelled at you for playing music too loud? Because my sister surely has!

Pietro thought for a minute. He liked a lot of music, so it wasn’t an easy question to answer. “Well, I do like songs that get me going while I run. Is fun, definitely. But... there are certain bands I like. Bon Jovi. Nickelback. Daughtry. Crossfade. Disturbed. To name a few. They have good sounds but also great words. They really speak to me about things like dealing with one’s past, doubting oneself, and even about wanting revolution and change. They get me going but also have meaning. That’s the best, I feel.”

“So... if I’m running, then those ear bud things are best, but if I am working out, I’m all for blasting the music. Unless is like three o’ clock in the morning. That is not always appreciated. And yes, Wanda has expressed her dislike of my tunes on more than one occasion. Well, not the tunes themselves but the volume. She likes all these quiet songs, and I just need more than that. If is not loud enough to feel it in my bones, then what am I even doing, you know?”

The Silver Garbage Awards: Worst of the Decade

Like with the Bryan Awards, I went back and picked my worst of the decade.  Please note, the nominees were nominated as the way they were placed when I originally did these awards.  Apologies in advance to anyone that may be offended by certain category placements.

- Eligibility Period is January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2019; which means anything that aired over the Summer or Fall is ineligible. - Sharknado is being entered for ALL of their movies as one. - Lead and Supporting Actor and Actress will be regardless of Comedy and Drama, and if an actor was nominated for multiple shows in that category, they will be nominated for ALL of the shows in that category over the course of the last ten years. - “Winners” will be announced by Friday, as I pick the “Bottom 2″.

And the Unlucky Nominees Are (I archived everything this decade, unlike the 2000s, where a few years suddenly disappeared off the face of the Earth due to the technology I had back then)...

LIFTING UP NEW LEADERS-THE FUTURE OF BLACK WOMEN’S HISTORY All too often, our “history” month turns into a tribute to the past.  And while the past is an important place to lift up it is, indeed, a tributary, a stream that flows into the larger stream of an unbounded future.  The future must always be greater than the present, or there has been no progress.  And, in the words of Frederick Douglas, “progress concedes nothing without a demand”.   

I spend much of Women’s History Month thinking of those who have come before me, the shoulders on whose I stand.  I claim Women’s History Month for Black Women and love to call our roll of luminaries that, for me, includes Dr. Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander, the first Black woman to get a Ph.D. in economics, Dr. Phyllis Ann Wallace, the first Black woman to get a Ph.D. in economics from Yale, and the first to attain tenure at MIT.  And there are more, but I also want to speculate about the future role of luminaries and reflect on that fact that many Black women have made it possible for us to bask in a new generation of leadership.   The past has laid a foundation, but the future is far more important than the past.   

Thus, Leah Daughtry (who managed the 2016 Democratic convention), Minyon Moore (who had a key role in the Clinton campaign), and Yolanda Caraway (an amazing political operative who has worked for Rev. Jesse Jackson, President Bill Clinton, and candidate Hillary Clinton), put a footprint in the sand for future leadership with their Power Rising conference in Atlanta last month.  They gathered more than a thousand Black women from around the country to develop a “Black Women’s Agenda”, deliberately mixing up the seasoned with the sassy, established leaders with those who are eager to make their mark.    

Symone Sanders, the CNN commentator who made her mark supporting Bernie Sanders, and who does not back down from a fight around principle and issues, led a panel of young women who spoke of the challenges in their work.  

Amanda Brown-Lierman, a new mom and the Political Director of the Democratic National Committee, was among those on another panel about life in politics.  Others on that panel included LaDavia Drane, who led Black outreach for Hillary Clinton and is now chief of staff for Congresswoman Yvette Clark (D-NY) and Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley, who is now running for Congress.  These young women aren’t playing!  They are calling out their elders, but also calling out the rules.  They aren’t trying to toe a line, they are trying to make a difference...
