Democracy Advocate / CEO / Lawyer / Speaker / Mom to 3 Independent Women

More amazing images and love from our event on Saturday! Thank you so much Stephanie Matthews for driving conversation and always hopping into difficult subjects. I know people are tired of talking about politics. But when we’re apathetic, politicians move on without (or in spite of) us. An open space for learning, awareness, and community building is critical. A few things folks said they learned: ❗️Ohio — and all state — have their own Supreme Courts. We elect justices here. ❗️Politicians in Ohio draw the districts that elect them. Super majority power means that party gets most of the say in how the lines get drawn. ❗️Ohio ranks 41/50 states for women’s participation. ❗️You (yes you) can run for office. Or apply to sit on one of the MANY boards or commissions in your city/village/township/county/state. ❗️Low representation by women means missing perspectives in all laws/policies in our state. Everyone is on a journey in their political participation. So glad we’re here to help along that journey. #ElectWomen

Feeling so grateful to have been part of the Sisterhood Supper Club Brunch featuring The Matriots! ✨ Met some incredible women and had meaningful discussions on how to engage more women in Ohio politics. Special thanks to our amazing hostess, Charlene Bridges Bridges, for bringing us together. The day was made even more special with delicious bites from Simply Plated and Posh Teatime Co., and the stunning flowers by Petals that Inspire, LLC. 🌸 So much love and appreciation to everyone who made this event a success! 💛 #Sisterhood #ElectWomen #WhenWomenLeadOhioProspers
