    Stacey Abrams…what can I say? My favorite quote of hers is “hopes and dreams without a plan are just wishes” and particularly in 2025 she just is honest about her truth and keeps going, keeps planning and adjusting and I love listening because she believes in the power of the people and shares her plan so I can get my consciousness raised and keep going head up and strong hearted.

    What a fantastic episode. Seriously, I learned so much. And I’m feeling inspired and energized to keep going again. Grateful to know there are leaders and organizers who are intellectually honest, are trying different tactics, acknowledge the risks they’re taking and are keeping the pedal to the metal. So grateful.
