New Mainers Speak is broadcast from Portland, ME on Sundays at noon, but on Mondays WERU, (in East Orland, ME), does a re-broadcast of the show at 4:30 PM. That means there is a listening audience up there that is only hearing about people in Southern Maine.
At Matt Murphy's suggestion (General Manager at WERU), I took a road trip up to the Bangor area. Through kind connections I learned about Angela Okafor and she introduced me to her two friends Marwa Hassanien and Tania Jean-Jacques. The three of them are all running for public office in the area and Marwa warmly hosted us for a recording party at her house.
These women are quite amazing. They support one another to take on challenges they might not have imagined alone. And, they were fun to get to know. I hope you will enjoy this set of three interviews (below) with each of them.
And, special thanks to WERU for the studio tour, interview and enthusiastic on-going support.
