GPB’s Sam Whitehead reports that Gwinnett voters may soon make history by electing an African-American to the county commission for the first time.  Then, Democrat Brenda Lopez is poised to become the first Latina elected to the Georgia General Assembly. An attorney and immigrant, she’s running unopposed in Tuesday’s election to represent House District 99, which includes the Norcross area of Gwinnett County. We talk with Lopez about her groundbreaking candidacy and her plans for her district and beyond. 

Demographic changes in Gwinnett County could lead to historic election results in that community. Plus, blogger Luvvie Ajayi talks about her new book and The Breakroom gang gathers to celebrate Friday.

There are millions of blogs on the Internet, but only a very select few attract millions of readers and influence society. Awesomely Luvvie is one of those blogs. It’s written by comedian and activist Luvvie Ajayi. Now she’s put something down on paper – a new book called “I'm Judging You: The Do-Better Manual.” We talk with her about finding her voice as a blogger and an author. 

Then, we assemble some of Georgia’s brightest minds in The Breakroom to discuss doing yoga with your cat, male birth control and the point of women-only lounges.
