In this week’s episode of Art of Power, host Aarti Shahani sits down with
Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-Mo.), a former Black Lives Matter activist who lost two
elections before finally winning Missouri’s 1st congressional seat in 2020.
Rep. Bush tells Shahani about her early exposure to politics (12:36), the
adversities she endured in her early life — including eviction, homelessness and
rape (19:12), the 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown Jr. in Ferguson that pushed
her to seek public office (4:00), and why she didn’t quit after two lopsided
electoral defeats (32:45).
