We are so excited for our first official State Representative - Rep Renitta Shannon!
She is not only an outspoken member of the GA General Assembly, she literally stands up for what she believes in - even if it means putting her body on the line. She served as the Executive VP of the National Organization for Women and was awarded “Most Valuable Legislators” in The Nation Magazine’s 2017 Progressive Honor Roll! She has adorned the cover of many magazines and her voice has been heard around the nation standing up for our rights.
In this episode, we talk about why she decided to run, how she came out as bisexual - making her the first bi-sexual legislator to serve in the GA General Assembly, she openly talks about her experience with abortion and we finally learn what the hell filibuster actually is. Rep Shannon also gives us some insight on why she will go Skydiving but not bungee jumping, her favorite watering hole, and her favorite Atlanta Album...well, sort of.
