    Special Episode: My Pivot Back into Politics with Yasmin Radjy

    Emily left her full-time career in politics several years ago, pivoting after having three kids in three years. But as many of our guests know, pivots can be more of a blurred line than we once thought.

As a suburban swing district mom, Emily is now the person she was always trying to reach in her political career - and now she can bring that perspective directly to Swing Left. And who better to talk with about everything election-related than the Executive Director of Swing Left, Yasmin Radjy, who made her own pivot back into politics! In this timely episode of She Pivots, Yasmin shares how Swing Left is moving the needle in the upcoming election and the high-impact tools at our disposal to make a difference.   She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success.

    Rachelle Steele: A Photographer’s Journey to Healing

    In 2005, Rachelle Steele was stationed in Mississippi for her job in the Navy when Hurricane Katrina hit. With two daughters, just six-months-old and eighteen-months-old, Rachelle fought for their survival—and then began to document what was happening around her. Those events left her with photography PTSD, and she didn’t pick up a camera for another 5 years. It took time, but she eventually became an award-winning photographer and has been one of a select group of artists named “International Portrait Photographer of the Year” for three years in a row. On this episode of She Pivots, Rachelle recounts her childhood and the loss of her father to addiction at a young age; her time in a biker gang; her decision to return to photography; and how the work she did during her Master of Fine Arts in Photography helped her heal.
