In our very first episode of All Politics Is Local, we sit down with the legendary Alice Upshaw Hawkins — a trailblazer, lifelong educator, and the first Black woman elected to the Corpus Christi Independent School District Board of Trustees.

Alice shares powerful stories from her decades of public service, her unwavering fight for educational equity, and what it meant to break barriers in South Texas politics. We dive into the challenges she faced, the victories that shaped her career, and her advice to the next generation of community leaders.

This episode is a celebration of leadership, legacy, and the power of local action to drive meaningful change.
