Side Hustles and Empowering Women with Patrice Onwuka

February 16, 2023 • TheBassSisters • Season 4 • Episode 4

This week, #TheBassSisters talk with Patrice Onwuka, Director of the Center for Economic Opportunity, at the Independent Women's Forum (IWF).

Patrice has written extensively on the impact that over-regulation has on the economic stability of America's middle and working-class families.

American families are feeling the squeeze from out-of-control inflation. Patrice talks about how the Biden Administration may bring more grief to hardworking families by overtaxing low-income workers relying on the gig economy.

Patrice also talks about IWF's fight to ensure that protections for biological females are not erased. The fight is taking place on the sports field, in the classroom and local, state and federal governing chambers.

IWF is also working double time to support policies that protect youth. As the number of transgender-indentifying youth has nearly doubled in recent years, IWF is giving voice to those who feel silenced as they push back against the one-sided "affirmation-only" model that promotes experimental drugs and medically invasive surgeries. You must follow their Identity Crisis documentary series. These are the stories the transgender movement does not want you to hear.
