Summary

Our guest today, Stacey Abrams, is running for Governor of Georgia, and stands to make history as the first black female Governor in our country's history. That is a big deal, and I can't lie - I WANT TO SEE HER WIN! This episode is a peak behind the curtain of who Stacey is, what she wants for us as a community, and why the office of the Governor is so critically important. It's also just really good to see her in a safe space for her and all of us. TIP if you don't want to hear my personal intro (you know you wanna hear it tho) then skip to minute mark 13:20 and hear what Leader Abrams has to say.
