The Girl Talk: Madame President Edition with Toni Preckwinkle
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle is the most powerful woman in the second largest county in the United States - and one of the most influential people in the state of Illinois, period. Over the years, she’s bucked the trend of politicians looking out for themselves by being a mentor to local political up-and-comers, including State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, Rep. Juliana Stratton and more.
For these reasons and many more, The Girl Talk is beyond excited to welcome President Preckwinkle to the show.
Aside from the pop tax situation, we’ll discuss her path to the presidency, her plans for the future and her role as a mentor to women and people of color in the political sphere.
Recorded live at the Hideout in Chicago on October 24, 2017.

What is The Girl Talk, you ask? It's a monthly show on the fourth Tuesday of the month hosted by women (DNAinfo Chicago’s Jen Sabella and public education warrior/CPS teacher Erika Wozniak) and featuring influential Chicago women and gender nonconforming individuals fighting for social justice. All are welcome to take part in these important conversations.
