Episode description

In this powerful episode of Sundays with Vernā, rising political star Deja Foxx shares her remarkable journey from a challenging childhood marked by homelessness and a single mother's struggle with addiction to launching a groundbreaking congressional campaign to become the youngest woman in Congress.   At just 25 years old, Foxx is running to be the first Gen Z woman elected to Congress in Arizona's 7th District. She brings a unique perspective shaped by her experiences with impoverishment, limited access to healthcare, and the critical importance of reproductive rights.    The conversation delves into her inspirational path, including her work on Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, her approach to leadership, and her urgent message about the need for young people to actively create political change.   Her captivating energy and storytelling make her the messenger we need right now.    With raw authenticity and unwavering determination, she articulates a vision of representative democracy that centers the experiences of those most often overlooked by traditional political systems. Vernā invites us to peer into the future and see the young people who thoughtfully and passionately nurture our hopes and progress.
