Governor Gretchen Whitmer: She Pivots Li...

This week, I am thrilled to share our very special LIVE episode with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer from our conversation at Sixth & I in Washington, D.C. Governor Whitmer first took public office at only 32 years old. During her 22 years of public service, Governor Whitmer has always led with grace - and a whole lot of grit. On this episode, Governor Whitmer reflects on her experience in the “sandwich generation,” taking care of her newborn and her mother, all while starting her political career in the Michigan legislature. (She even engages in some fun banter with one of her daughters who was in the audience!) She also shares some important wisdom from her book, True Gretch (now available in a young adult edition!), including the importance of being yourself. 

This event was hosted by Sixth & I, a center for arts, entertainment, ideas, and Jewish life in Washington DC.
