Shirley Chisholm: Unbought, Unbossed, and Unstoppable

Born on November 30, 1924, Shirley Chisholm didn’t just break barriers—she smashed them in heels and with a mic drop. 💥

She was the first Black Woman elected to the U.S. Congress, the first Black person to run for a major-party presidential nomination, and the first Woman to seek the Democratic Party's nod for President. Trailblazer? That doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Shirley once said, “I want to be remembered as a Woman… who dared to be a catalyst for change.”
Well guess what? She wasn’t just a catalyst—she was the whole spark plug. 🔥

HERstory wouldn’t be the same without her. And neither would ours. ♀️👑
