The Girl Talk podcast is back!

This episode was recorded live at The Hideout in Chicago on August 23, 2016.

This show Jen & Erika of #TheGirlTalk will be chatting with Chair of the Chicago Police Board Lori Lightfoot and public policy expert/triathlete Amara Enyia.

Lightfoot, a partner with the law firm Mayer Brown, has served in numerous key governmental roles, including as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division of the Northern District of Illinois, as General Counsel and Chief of Staff at the Chicago Office of Emergency Management, and as Chief Administrator at the Office of Professional Standards – the internal Police Department organization that investigated allegations of excessive force and misconduct prior to 2007 when the City created the independent investigative agency – the Independent Police Review Authority. Her current role is leading the civilian body that gives residents a voice in the police disciplinary process.

And Amara Enyia is a municipal policy consultant who took on Rahm Emanuel when she ran for Mayor of the City of Chicago in the 2015 municipal election at just 30 years old.

We’re throwing them together on ONE stage to talk about all the incredible things they’re working on, the struggles facing our city, and the path forward
