Sep 2024

When Stacey Abrams was running for Gov of GA, I engaged with a young Black woman at a restaurant who told me she is from GA.

When I told her Stacey was the first woman of color to represent a major political party in a race for gov of a state, no reaction. Like "meh..."

When I told her Oprah endorsed Stacey, her eyes got about the size of dinner plates and she reverently whispered "Oprah?"

I don't get it. Oprah is great, too, but come on!
