This week we're chatting about the groundbreaking life and legacy of Shirley Chisholm—the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first woman to seek the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. From her early days in Brooklyn as a day care teacher to her fearless fight for racial and gender equality, Shirley's career was defined by her unapologetic advocacy and refusal to play by the rules of the political establishment, and you know we love a woman who doesn't play by the rules at RAM. Shirley changed the game—whether America was ready for her or not. Created and Produced by Claire Donald and Tess Bellomo For more RAM, where to follow us, merch, and updates go here.
