   • bioText: Stacey Abrams is an author, serial entrepreneur, nonprofit CEO and political leader. After eleven years in the Georgia House of Representatives, seven as Minority Leader, Abrams became the 2018 Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia, where she won more votes than any other Democrat in the state's history. She has founded multiple organizations devoted to voting rights, training and hiring young people of color, and tackling social issues at both the state and national levels; and she is a lifetime member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Abrams is the 2012 recipient of the John F. Kennedy New Frontier Award and the first black woman to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major party in the United States.

Lead from the Outside

fullDescription

Lead from the Outside is a necessary guide to harnessing the strengths of being an outsider by Stacey Abrams, one of the most prominent black female politicians in the U.S.
Leadership is hard. Convincing others—and often yourself—that you possess the answers and are capable of world-affecting change requires confidence, insight, and sheer bravado. Stacey Abrams's Lead from the Outside is the handbook for outsiders, written with the awareness of the experiences and challenges that hinder anyone who exists beyond the structure of traditional white male power—women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and millennials ready to make a difference.
In Lead from the Outside, Stacey Abrams argues that knowing your own passion is the key to success, regardless of the scale or target. From launching a company, to starting a day care center for homeless teen moms, to running a successful political campaign, finding what you want to fight for is as critical as knowing how to turn thought into action. Stacey uses her experience and hard-won insights to break down how ambition, fear, money, and failure function in leadership, while offering personal stories that illuminate practical strategies.
Stacey includes exercises to help you hone your skills and realize your aspirations. She discusses candidly what she has learned over the course of her impressive career: that differences in race, gender, and class are surmountable. With direction and dedication, being in the minority actually provides unique and vital strength, which we can employ to rise to the top and make real change.

     April 15, 2018
     After Georgia state legislator Abrams writes about graduating magna cum laude from at Spelman College; attending Yale Law School and becoming a tax attorney at a private firm; serving as consultant to nonprofits while starting a handful of her own, including one that registered hundreds of thousands of new voters in the state; and writing romance-suspense novels, she had the nerve to say that what she really wanted to be was a singer. And who knows, she may still find a way to fit that in, after her current run for governor of Georgia, which would make her the first African American woman to hold that office. Although there are many books on networking and achieving political and entrepreneurial success, Abrams' is geared toward helping those who are on the fringes, especially African American women, find pathways to success and power. With chapters such as Fear and Otherness, Prepare to Win and Embrace the Fail, and Making What You Have Work, this is an excellent guide that addresses setbacks and pitfalls and identifies strategies to overcome them.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)

     House Minority Leader for the Georgia General Assembly who's now running for Georgia governor, Abrams won national acclaim for helping register voters of color in her state and getting business to recruit young people of color. Here, she shows readers from any marginalized population how to become their own advocates.
