How you respond to setbacks is what defines your character, says Stacey Abrams, the first black woman in the history of the United States to be nominated by a major party for governor. In an electrifying talk, she shares the lessons she learned from her campaign for governor of Georgia — and some advice on how to change the world. “Be aggressive about your ambition,” Abrams says.

  1. Obama spoke well. How did that turn out for black America? They went backwards yet again. Under President Trump, black unemployment lowest of ALL TIME, blacks benefited greatly from the president's Second Chance Program, and real wages rose the most under any American president since Republican Dwight Eisenhower.

  2. She is wearing my kids tent ⛺. How can she run for anything. She can't even control her own body weight. Her arm fat can feed a country

  3. This giant (literally) fraud is being promoted by the system.
    She has accomplished nothing politically except to lose a gubernatorial race and refuse to concede because the results were racist. She will continue to fail no matter how much people like George Soros prop her up.

  4. Hello,
    I am urgently reaching out to you, as I have a situation that I am requesting the opportunity to speak with you regarding, please. I am no celebrity, I am a health care provider, experiencing a very dark time due to a gentleman, which has caused my to lose EVERYTHING, health. career, home and family. Please speak with me, please. Thank you.

  5. ? Liberal democrats Stacey Abrams nothing but a crybaby racist lesbian black woman that wants the campaign finance rules changed for her benefit. Abrams knows she can’t win if she doesn’t have enough money$$$ to run her lying ? advertising. She lost the last Governor election in Georgia by almost 55,000 votes and she’s going to lose again unless the Democrats are allowed to cheat. She would be a disaster as Governor of Georgia.

  6. Isn't strange how we all hopefully develop ! Humans are really simple , we get confused when we think that we are choosing , our brain is ahead of us . reflect what is really going on ?

  7. There’s a 4th that she left out – always ask yourself whether biological science stands in the way of your abhorrent, murderous political views. Make sure to blame men for anything and everything, particularly if (and most definitely not because) you’re too ginormous to fit in a queen size bed on your own, and haven’t had s*x in 30 years ?

  8. It is 2022 (before the election) and the same tactics are being used against other 'similarly situated' candidates. However, lawless manipulations of finances so as to 'fatigue and frighten' people is ungodly.
