Serving the People? or Serving #Lewks? Tieless Advocate? Or Trend Alert? We’re going to have a Governor that can do both. Today, Tuesday October 11th is Georgian’s last day to register to vote in this upcoming election. Early voting starts Monday October 17th. #staceyabrams #essence #covergirl #Repost @essence ・・・ 🚨New Cover Alert 🚨 Georgia is on our minds as we speak to Stacey Abrams on her race to make history as the First Black Woman to become a Governor in the United States. Abrams hopes to obtain that win by speaking to the needs of her own people. Abrams knows she’s the only candidate who knows the Black experience like the back of her hand. Being Black often means fighting racism but also transmuting it to love your people. “We must elect candidates who see us, hear us, represent us, and have a commitment to passing legislation that ensures our communities have the opportunity to thrive,” she says. “The best predictor of what someone will do is knowing what they have done, and I am the only candidate for governor with a proven track record of ensuring that Georgians of all backgrounds are seen and heard in Georgia.” Meet us at the polls! #ESSENCE Roll the credits: Written by Clarissa Brooks @chloeesuxx Photographed by Gunner Stahl @gunnerstahl.us Styled by El Lewis @el.lewis Makeup by Jasmine Umrani using Fashion Fair @j.umranimua Production by The Morrison Group @themorrisongroup
