In this premiere episode of The Tight Rope, Dr. Cornel West and Professor Tricia Rose ask their esteemed guest Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) the right questions for her to share powerfully about her journey, politics, and thoughts on social justice in an electoral framework, the discipline of non-attachment, and intentional vulnerability. Together they “pull the curtain” on power and explore what it will take to heal our nation. Find out how AOC walks the tight rope of being authentic and “acceptable” along with a special segment on defunding the police during Office Hours in this episode of The Tight Rope.
