THE LAST WORD with WHEN WE ALL VOTE

Hi! I’m Nandi, When We All Vote’s Email Campaign Manager. I’m a storyteller, part-time photographer, interior design enthusiast, list maker, and professional lady of leisure (at least that’s the goal). Being as though When We All Vote’s astrological sign is in Cancer (water signs stand up) — The Last Word was birthed to provide much-needed comfort and some light-hearted fun in between the hard work we continue to do day in and day out. Once a month, I’ll be in your inbox with my favorite things, the current state of voting, and all things When We All Vote.

Nandi’s favorite things this month:

✅ Celebrated the life of a global icon Tina Turner with some of my favs Beyonce [[link removed]], Lizzo [[link removed]], and others [[link removed]].
