Shirley Chisholm
The Unbought and Unbossed Trailblazer
Unbought, unbossed, and always ready to disrupt.
I didn’t come to Washington to play nice—I came to win for the people they forgot to count. From Brooklyn classrooms to the Capitol floor, I’ve carried the hopes of the overlooked in my voice, my stride, and yes, even my hat. They called me a troublemaker. I took it as a job description.
What I'm Into: bold hats, parliamentary procedure, young dreamers, Democratic primaries, Brooklyn sunsets
