Georgia is on everyone’s mind right now. We’re already seeing record turnout from early voting and we will be working hard to support all the organizing happening from now through January 5th, and beyond, as folks continue to build power. Today, we’re so grateful that re:power alum Kratina Baker took a break to talk more with us about her work. Kratina works at #Cut50 where she manages the Empathy Network.

Q: When have you felt most proud of your work?
A: Being able to come in and change things around to where our audience is better served while getting push back. I’m proud that I can be confident in my skills and abilities and stand tall even when people try and push and rattle me. I know what I am talking about even when I am made to feel otherwise.

Q: In what ways has re:power’s training supported you?
A: The Advanced Leadership Women of Color cohort provided a safe space to talk about issues that affect me. While I have never personally experienced some of the issues that many women experience, it was invaluable having that space and being able to have tools and stories that can help me as I continue to grow in my career.

Q: What does power look like to you?
A: Power to me is not asking for a seat at the table, it’s taking it. We are often told as Black women we are too loud or too aggressive. Sometimes I am the most educated in the room and feel like that’s used against me, but taking up space without asking for permission is powerful.

We’re done asking for permission because we know what is best for our people. Join us by giving $25, $50, $250 or more as we unapologetically take the space that is ours and create a future of inclusive politics [[link removed]] .

In solidarity,

Karundi
