This week we will learn about a phenomenal women Cori Bush (July 21, 1976 – ), NWHM Predoctoral Fellow in Gender Studies l 2022-2024**
Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) was civically engaged well before she entered politics. The mother of two has experienced a lot of hardships in her life and channels those experiences into her advocacy work. As one of the newest members of Congress, Bush pushes for progressive legislative goals that will benefit her constituents—people just like her.
Cori Bush was born on July 21, 1976 in St. Louis, Missouri. Her father, Errol Bush, is an alderman and a former mayor of Northwoods, a small city in St. Louis County. She graduated from Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School and then studied at Harris-Stowe State University. As a young woman, Bush began her career as a preschool teacher making minimum wage. After a decade with the same company, she worked her way up to the school’s assistant director—but she was still only making $9 an hour. Navigating this economic reality stuck with Bush, and she never forgot the struggles she encountered as a minimum-wage employee. She recalled these struggles in an interview, thinking to herself as she sat outside a PayDay Loan office, “‘‘Who speaks up for people like me?…Why do I keep having to live like this?” For more information about Representative Bush, click here.
