#wcw My sister + longtime shero Ayanna Pressley. You did it sis! You’re not new to this, you’re true to this ✊🏾 Remember us talking about a day like today many years ago in Boston. Your bold vision for the kind of leadership our people need + deserve has been inspiring us from your first historic run in ‘09. Your integrity, compassion, fortitude, brilliance, love for the people and example have been a joy to witness from near and far. Keep soaring my dear sister. Love you DEEP 🙏🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWv1ZVgZl-wIJ4ZIzjM4iIMXmhEF1dLxWCmbY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g5p6qx520fh5
