I can't wait for our next guest on WV Can't Wait Live: Councilwoman Rosemary Ketchum! A poised and generous activist, Rosemary was elected in 2020 as a WV Can't Wait candidate for city council in Wheeling. She made history as the first openly trans elected official in the state of WV. Rosemary is brilliant, capable, and loved by everyone. She's also the envy of many of us for her inspiring and aesthetic WV local social media content, historic home renovations, and her gorgeous thrifting finds.

Last event we checked in with Shalom Tazewell in Summers County. We talked about our giant dogs, the joy and inspiration that comes from being in the WV Can't Wait movement, and the bravery her family inspired in her. My favorite moment was hearing the brilliant ways her family made frequent moves during her childhood an engaging experience for her and her brothers. You can still watch that video here!

Tune in at 3pm on Friday, February 17 on the WV Can’t Wait Facebook page to join us live and ask Rosemary a question of your own. Busy that evening? No worries! The stream will be available to watch later.

Excited to see y'all,

Brittney Barlett (she/her)
