Discover how a young girl who loved to read and write became a
voting rights activist, a candidate for governor of Georgia, and an
author. Presenting Who HQ Now: an exciting addition to the #1 New
York Times Best-Selling Who Was? series! Stacey Abrams began her
career in politics at the age of seventeen when she was hired as a
typist for a congressional campaign. From there, she worked hard to
get into Yale law school and, eventually, was elected into the
House of Representatives. In 2018, she became the first Black woman
in the United States to be a major party's nominee for governor
when she was selected as the Democratic candidate. Although she
didn't win that race, she decided to run again in 2022, proving
that she never backs down from a challenge. Stacey made it her
mission to help ensure that all people who are eligible have the
right and ability to vote. Her Fair Fight Action organization helps
prevent voter suppression across the country. When she was growing
up, Stacey was taught three important principles by her parents: go
to school, go to church, and take care of each other. And these are
the same beliefs she holds today.

foods, and whipped through culinary school. And although she wasn't
always successful in the kitchen, she was determined to "master the
art" of French cooking. Through perseverance and grit, Julia became
a chef who shared her passion with the world, making cooking fun,
and turning every meal into a special event. Alex Prud'homme's
