These are some great Stacy Abrams quotes:

https://www.blackenterprise.com/18-stacey-abrams-quotes/



-Not everyone’s ambitions will be world domination or Carnegie Hall, but we should be driven beyond what we know and feel safe doing.

-If you can walk away for days, weeks, or years at a time, it is not an ambition, it’s a wish. Wishes feel good and rarely come true. Ambition, on the other hand, fuels your days and refuses to be ignored. It challenges your sense of self and fulfills your sense of wonder.

-Like most who are underestimated, I have learned to over-perform and find soft but key ways to take credit. Because ultimately, leadership and power require the confidence to effectively wield both.

-We all set our sights on jobs we want, titles we covet. But, like dating the wrong person, we have to learn to understand what is truly for us and be willing to break up to find the real thing.

-We must cease being participants in our own oppression.

-Admitting mistakes is a fundamental skill too few of us learn. In part, this is because we’ve been taught it’s wrong to be wrong.

-Invention, discovery, and empires are built of chances taken with high degrees of failure.

-Effective leaders are able to say to the person they want to impress most: “I don’t know.”

-Good leaders are always at the ready, but not always at the front.

-Remember this in the darkest moments, when the work doesn’t seem worth it, and change seems just out of reach: out of our willingness to push through comes a tremendous power… Use it.

-Not only must we stop telling ourselves no, we have to internalize our right to make mistakes and to use each error as an entry point to more knowledge.

-Financial independence gives us the power to decide our futures and liberate our conception of what’s possible.

-We will all, at some point, encounter hurdles to gaining access and entry, moving up and conquering self-doubt; but on the other side is the capacity to own opportunity and tell our own story.

-The most significant successes come from letting your light shine, embracing failure, and getting good at being wrong.

-Names matter; labels matter. We should always pursue the highest title available and fight for the labels that reflect our clout.

-The anchors of belief should never weigh down the capacity for thoughtful engagement and reasonable compromise.

-Effective leaders must be truth seekers, and that requires a willingness to understand truths other than our own.

1. Thanks, JHan, for the link.

Yes, indeed, inspiring, uplifting and kick-ass.

2. Stacey really is inspiring. Her non-concession speech

thrilled me with its contained, directed anger and highly principled determination to fight on as long as it takes to win.

Nothing against Hillary's very real abilities, but I've searched for inspiring quotes from her and they're very thin. Stacey's ability to express her great convictions is a gift, and the convictions themselves.

Remember this in the darkest moments, when the work doesn’t seem worth it, and change seems just out of reach: out of our willingness to push through comes a tremendous power… Use it.

Thanks, Jhan.

3. She is very inspiring.

We have not seen the last of Stacey Abrams, and it gives me great comfort to know that.

4. Hope she sticks around

Still bummed that she and Gillum "lost," but we haven't seen the last of her, if/and not him.
