In conversation with award-winning journalist and broadcaster, Tracey Matisak
Stacey Abrams is the Ronald W. Walters Endowed Chair for Race and Black Politics at Howard University. After serving eleven years in the Georgia House of Representatives—seven as minority leader—she became the 2018 Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, where she won more votes than any Democrat in the state’s history. Dedicated to civic engagement, she is the creator of multiple nonprofit organizations devoted to democracy protection, voting rights, and effective public policy. Abrams has also co-founded successful companies, including a financial services firm, an energy and infrastructure consulting firm, and a media company, Sage Works Productions, Inc. Her books include the New York Times nonfiction bestsellers Lead from the Outside and Our Time Is Now, and a thriller, titled While Justice Sleeps. Her latest thriller, Rogue Justice, follows the continuing intrigues of While Justice Sleeps’ protagonist, Supreme Court law clerk Avery Keene, as she unravels a conspiracy involving a slew of federal judges.
