Juanita Brent, who represents residents in Bedford, Bedford Heights, parts of Cleveland, Highland Hills, Maple Heights, Mayfield Heights, North Randall, Orange, Pepper Pike and Warrensville Heights, discusses many hot topics facing the community right now.
"I'll be honest with you - and I've said this before in many public places - it's stressful being black. When you look at infant mortality and maternal mortality, the highest numbers are among African American women."
Listen as Ms. Brent describes her own journey that led to holding an office in Columbus where she plays an important role in shaping the legislation that affects people's lives throughout the state. Also learn about the issues facing this state as the conversation touches on many key Democratic priorities.
As a millennial, she likes to maximize the use of social media to communicate with constituents. The driving force behind this activity is her interest in being transparent. "The biggest misconception that happens with elected officials is that we do nothing during our day. I like people to know that I have very full days, probably longer that most people because on average, my days last 12 hours, easily. To bring some transparency, I show snips of the day."
