​Support Women Who Want To Run For OFFICE

I share my story to redefine what it means to look like a politician, not just for myself, but for all women. I know when I let my light shine, others will be encouraged to let their light shine too.  - Cierra Jackson.

Three Things I Learned from Stacey Abrams
In April 2019, I was selected to serve as the Ambassador for She Should Run, a nonprofit that encourages and trains women to run for office. 


I want to see even more women run for political office and win. As a Spelman College & Women’s Campaign School at Yale University graduate (which are both women's colleges), I recognize the value of women leading in our world. Women are courageous, strong, intelligent and powerful beyond belief; and, I want to be a part of the team that helps them realize that. Understanding the courageous mission of She Should Run to train 250K women to run for elected office by 2030, I am galvanized to offer my skills and talents, as a She Should Run ambassador, to accomplish this mission.

I had the most amazing time meeting some of the most incredible, politically driven, courageous, ambitious, young women I have ever met at @RunningStart 's Young Women's Political Leadership Program! And it is even crazier to realize they are only in HIGH school! • Spending the day at Capitol Hill introducing them to their Congressmembers and their political icons, facilitating heavy conversations about the state of our politics, and engaging and seeing their passions to one day run for political office may have been more of an inspiration to me than them. These young women are breathtaking□ • Encouraging them to be even greater and to persevere to reach new heights, as their graduation speaker, was truly the icing on such an incredible experience. Despite our current political climate, I know our future is truly protected with these young women leading! & Oh what an amazing future it will be ❤✨ #TheFutureIsFemale • #ILookLikeAPolitician #Ambassador #RunningStart #Latergram

You probably already know that I’m very involved with politics, but you probably didn’t know in 2018 - I teamed up with Running Start to raise funds for young women who aspire to run for political office.

In 2015, Running Start provided me the opportunity to work as a fellow for a female member of Congress, political mentorship, leadership training, DC housing free-of-charge, and a stipend for my work. Running Start helped provide many of the connections and experiences I needed to land an internship as the only communications to serve the Chief of Staff office during the  Obama's Administration.

Grateful for the opportunity to be apart of the Running Start family,  at the beginning of 2018, I pledged  the first 10 days of the New Year to raising over $1K for Running Start. In about 10 days, I was able to raise over $1.2 K to prepare women who aspire to run for office.

This led to me being selected as one of the seven finalist to present a competitive speech at the 12th Annual Young Women to Watch Awards on March 14th, 2018. With the votes from the attendees during the awards, I was elected the #ILOOKLIKEAPOLITICIAN ambassador and served for a year. In that time I was able to train hundreds of young women all over the nation and even nationally in Iceland.

Training young international women in Iceland to run for political office was so fulfilling! Having a few young men who identify as feminists and are also a part of the fight to ensure women run was the perfect touch! Playing a part in ensuring women across the world □ are encouraged, prepared, & fearless in their run for office with @runningstart =priceless□#PowerTogether #RunningStart #ILookLikeAPolitician #Ambassador

In a room full of opportunity, I was inspired not only by my fellow finalists, but by the limitless possibilities presented when all people — regardless of gender, ethnicity, or economic background — join together for equality."                                       - Cierra Jackson
