This week on Pretty Furious, Mallory and Maggie talk with the one and only, @jojofromjerz!
In this hilarious and cathartic conversation, they all share headline-induced anxiety to the joys (and existential dread) of parenting in a nonstop political news cycle. In addition, they discuss why community matters more than ever, how social media can both connect and corrode us, and why AI is quickly becoming the loudest voice in the room.
Jo Jo shares candid experiences with online hate, calling out the urgent need for a media ecosystem that actually reflects the country it serves, and—despite everything—shows she dares to imagine a better future for America.
The discussion closes with Kintsugi, the art of repairing what’s broken with gold, as both a metaphor and a mission: we may be cracked, but we’re still worth rebuilding.
