March 28 – Stacey Abrams
Politician, lawyer, novelist. Abrams earned herself an endorsement from Oprah during her campaign to become Georgia’s new governor in 2018. (She would have been the first Black woman to step into the role.) Though she lost the race, she’s still a political standout, delivering the Democratic response to President Trump’s State of the Union Address in 2019 and leading the charge against voter suppression in Georgia’s elections. And she’s a romance novelist.
