Growing up, Alexandria didn’t see many women like her in positions of leadership. As she said:
“When you’re only seeing white dudes just like, running the world, you think you need to act like a white dude to run the world. The problem is that mold wasn’t made for you. And so even if you try the hardest at being that, you will not be as good as someone who is just that already.”
Alexandria has made it her goal to be authentically herself, because she wants to show people that there are other ways of being powerful in the world.
For Alexandria, being herself means everything from sharing her democratic socialist views, to wearing red lipstick in a place where there aren’t many red lips.
She knows that one way that we can really change leadership is by being ourselves as we are.
Her actions are already having an impact and changing what it means to be a powerful, authentic elected leader:
Representation is just one of the many reasons we need to keep Alexandria in Congress. If you’re able to, please chip in to AOC’s Reelection Fund before she is on the ballot this November.
Thank you so much and we hope you feel inspired by this message to keep being you.
Team AOC
