1972 - my mother & I attended a function where I had the honor of meeting Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. She had declared her candidacy to run for president. It was educational, inspirational, invigorating, & aspirational.
Delightful surprise - so was the 2020 DNC Convention.
Too cute for words pledge:
Stirring rendition of the national anthem:
Claiming and owning a moniker thrust on any woman who knows her own power - Julia Louis Dreyfuss channelled a take off on her "Veep" character to surgical, piercing effect:
High wire, heart in mouth moment that ended in cheers for a gutsy youngster, Brayden Harrington, determined and demonstrating his increased confidence because he had a role model who took the time to share an oratory technique.
A message of decency, empathy, hope, change, policies to bolster and support Americans.
I'll say it again - it was a delightful surprise to see the rollout of the messages over the four days from the DNC Convention.
