Hi John,
At Run for Something, we know a little bit about taking the high road when it comes to creating positive change -- and so does this week’s podcast guest,
Virginia House of Delegates candidate Bridgette Craighead.
Bridgette is a native of Rocky Mount, Virginia, who was moved to action by the murder of George Floyd.
She’s a mom and small business owner who went from working as a hairstylist to fighting inequality as an activist -- organizing her town’s first-ever Black Lives Matter protest.
Now, she’s taking on a very Trumpian Republican incumbent who claims she doesn’t fit into her own community. (That’s some thinly veiled racism right there.)
Learn about Bridgette’s journey from hairstylist to Black Lives Matter Activist to candidate on podcatchers now:
