In this episode of The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation Podcast , host Rachel Keener sits down with author, political leader, and voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams for a thoughtful conversation on creativity, worry, and the mental health of Black women. Stacey reflects on how reading and writing became tools for processing emotion, exploring ideas, and imagining new possibilities from an early age. She shares how fiction, from romance novels to legal thrillers, gives her space to work through anger, heartbreak, and complexity while pushing back against the expectation that Black women must always be perfect, resilient, and responsible. Rachel and Stacey also discuss what Stacey calls being a “professional worrier,” reframing worry as both reflection and action in service of change. From using creativity as emotional release to finding grounding in small daily rituals, Stacey offers an honest look at what it means to care for yourself while carrying the weight of leadership and responsibility. Listen in for a grounded conversation on storytelling, mental health, creativity, and making space for imperfection.

This week on Brown Ambition , Mandi is joined by author, activist, and democracy defender Stacey Abrams for a powerful, timely, and deeply grounding conversation about where we are as a country and what we can actually do about it. Recorded during a moment of collective grief, fear, and exhaustion, this episode centers honesty over platitudes and action over despair. Stacey breaks down her 10 Steps Campaign , explains how authoritarianism takes root in real time, and offers a clear framework for resistance, resilience, and rebuilding without pretending this moment isn’t heavy. Together, Mandi and Stacey talk about protecting your peace without disengaging, finding joy as an act of resistance, navigating financial shame and career disruption, and why your power doesn’t disappear just because your platform changes. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, frozen, or unsure where to start this conversation is for you. What We Get Into Why this moment feels heavier and why that feeling is by design Stacey Abrams’ 10 Steps to Autocracy and how to recognize them in real time The 10 Steps to Freedom & Power and how everyday people can activate them Why we can’t return to “how things were” and must demand something better How to talk to your kids about what’s happening without passing down fear What to do when you’re exhausted, caregiving, working, and barely holding it together Why joy is not escapism — it’s resistance Financial shame, job loss, and why debt is not a moral failure Stacey’s unsexy but life-changing money habits Building freedom funds, changing lanes, and investing in yourself and others Government shutdowns, budgets, and why “business as usual” no longer applies Why status is no longer safety and what collective action really looks like Key Takeaways You don’t have to do everything — but you do have to do something Your position may change, but your power stays with you Nonviolent resistance is effective — and it’s not the same as being passive Financial setbacks don’t cancel your dreams; they may redirect them Democracy isn’t abstract — it’s about our ability to thrive Resources Mentioned Stacey Abrams’ 10 Steps Campaign Assembly Required podcast Level Up by Stacey Abrams <a href="https

I’ve always been impressed with Stacey Abrams from afar, so when I got an invitation to be directly in conversation with her, I was thrilled. In addition to her political leadership, Abrams is also a small business owner, a New York Times best-selling author, and —something far fewer people know — a champion for clean energy and climate justice. In 2023, Abrams joined the team at Rewiring America as senior counsel. That’s a great nonprofit dedicated to electrifying our homes, businesses, and communities. If you want to ditch fossil fuels and upgrade to electric (and save money doing it!) their website has all the top tips. I knew the conversation (during Climate Week NYC) would be interesting, but I had not anticipated that it would also be utterly delightful. Enjoy!

She could have, but instead the long-time activist, lawyer and politician put all of her effort to fighting a broken voting system into ensuring fair elections in the future. “This is not about one politician or one race,” she says. “This is about an infrastructure that’s supposed to serve citizens and it’s not.” On this episode of Back to Biz with Katie and Boz, Stacey Abrams talks about the work her organization “Fair Fights Action” is doing to mitigate the harm of voter suppression and how their helping voters to prepare for November. Katie and Boz also talk to Stacey about her childhood, her love of “Star Trek,” that little VP rumor, and the key difference between the protests happening today compared with the ones that broke out after the Rodney King verdict 30 years ago.
