Sunstorm with Alicia Garza & Ai-jen Poo
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
Special Georgia Bonus Ep! Just as she prepares to take the oath of office as U.S. Congresswoman for Georgia’s 5th district, Rep. Nikema Williams reflects on her journey from rural Alabama to Washington DC, and the responsibility that comes with holding the late Rep. John Lewis’s seat. As Nikema explains, it’s not just about continuing his civil rights legacy—it’s about moving forward, building on the past, and creating a more expansive vision of what’s possible. She also shares her personal story of Covid-19, which she survived in the early days of the pandemic, and how that experience has fueled her calls for stronger government response and economic relief. Plus: How becoming a mom inspired her first run for office, and the many challenges of Zoom kindergarten.
