Before representing Illinois in the U.S. Senate, Tammy Duckworth was also a member of the U.S. House, an Assistant V.A. Secretary and a Purple Heart recipient. She joins host Krys Boyd to talk about her thoughts as an Asian American woman in the wake of the recent Atlanta murders – and her ideas as a senator following two high-profile mass shootings. Her new book is called “Every Day is a Gift: A Memoir.”
