Stacey Abrams Bio
Stacey Yvonne Abrams (born December 9, 1973 Madison, Wisconsin, USA) is an American politician and entrepreneur. At 29, she was appointed the Deputy City Attorney for Atlanta. She also co-founded a number of businesses, including a financial-services firm in Atlanta.
In 2006, Abrams was elected to the Georgia House and quickly gained a reputation for bipartisanship. In 2010, she became the House Minority leader—the first African American woman to do so in Georgia. She rose to national prominence when she ran for governor of Georgia in 2018. While she lost the race by about 55,000 votes, her candidacy remained a historic feat.
In 2018, Abrams succeeded in translating her political experience into her book Minority Leader: How to Lead from the Outside and Make Real Change. She released her second book, Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America in 2020. In February 2021, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
