I am not the biggest fan of most politicians, I must admit. But despite my disagreements with her methods and policies (which, compared to most politicians, I have very few), I have incredible respect for Cori Bush. The struggles that she has overcome are unfathomable to me, and the bravery that it must have taken for her to share her story after coming into the public light as a member of the House of Representatives. Very frank. Very educational and important read for activists, nurses, community members, child-carers.
