If I could have lunch with anyone dead or alive it would be Stacey Abrams. I chose Stacey Abrams because she seems to be authentic, down to earth and she's a Southern lady like myself. Stacey Abrams is an American politician, lawyer and author who served in the Georgia House representatives from 2006 to 2017. She was the first African American female major party gubernatorial nominee of the United Ststes. In February 2019, she became the first African American woman to deliver a response to the state of the union address. ( www.wikepedia.com).

I’m intrigued with her drive, hardwork, what she has accomplished, her passion for civil rights, her dedication to her community. She reminds me of a modern day Mary McLeod Bethune. Stacey Abrams puts her passion in assuring that the political system is fair for all people. She shared that she owed 54,000 in Federal back taxes and held $174,000 in credit card and student loan debt. She paid the IRS incrementally on a payment plan after she deferred her 2015 and 2016 taxes, which was helpful in helping her family with their medical expenses. (www.wikepedia.org)
