Summary
LaJuan has appeared in a handful of episodes, but I don’t feel like you really know her yet. I wanted to use this episode to introduce you to my lovely wife. We talk about how her difficult early life shaped her political views, how she developed her love of reading and ideas, her alienation from Democrats and the liberal center, and her personal connection to Beyoncé.
