It’s time to shake the table, sis! In today’s installment of the summer series, we’ve got political heavyweight and Chief Impact Officer of 1063 West Broad, Alencia Johnson, serving Professional Troublemaker vibes (cue Luvvie) while she shares:
- how she landed gigs campaigning for former President Barack Obama, Senator Elizabeth Warren and President Joe Biden
- the #1 tip for WOC looking to establish themselves as credible staples in the political world
- fun facts about how she orchestrated Planned Parenthood’s infamous “Stand With Black Women” framework
This is by far the BEST political tea party I’ve been to, so tune in! (y’all better had got that pun)
