Who Is Stacey Abrams? -- The Road to Georgia -- College Years -- The Lawyer and Politician -- The Race for Governor -- The Comeback

"Stacey Abrams began her career in politics at the age of seventeen when she was hired as a typist for a congressional campaign.

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.
