Nancy Pelosi Interview: A Candid Conversation on Family, Politics, and Persistence

Nancy Pelosi discusses growing up in a political family and how her mother was a source of inspiration, encouraging her to be independent and have high aspirations. Pelosi reflects on her experiences as a female politician and how women in leadership roles often become targets, particularly when they are effective, but urges young women not to be discouraged or characterized by others.
Nancy Pelosi was born on March 26, 1940 in Baltimore Maryland. She was the only daughter and the youngest of six children. Her father was a three-term Mayor of Baltimore and her mother was also active in politics, organizing Democratic women. In 1962 Pelosi graduated from Trinity College in Washington D.C. with a B.A. in Political Science. She has represented San Francisco in Congress since 1987. Pelosi made history in 2007 as the first woman to be elected as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, a position she regained in January 2019, becoming the first person in over six decades to do so. Throughout her career, Pelosi has been a key figure in passing significant legislation, including the Affordable Care Act and the American Rescue Plan. As a leader of the Democratic Party in the House, Pelosi played a crucial role in crafting and passing various bills during different administrations. Under the Biden-Harris Administration, she led the House in passing the American Rescue Plan, which provided pandemic relief, vaccine distribution, and support for various frontline workers and families in need. Additionally, she championed infrastructure investment, climate action, and health care reforms. Pelosi has been a vocal advocate for voting rights, government ethics, and accountability. She played a significant role in the impeachment of former President Donald Trump, demonstrating her commitment to upholding the rule of law and defending the Constitution. Throughout her tenure, Pelosi has also been an advocate for human rights, national security, and promoting democratic values around the world. She has been a leader in advocating for equality, pushing for the repeal of discriminatory policies and fighting for LGBTQ rights. Pelosi's family has a strong tradition of public service, with her father and brother both serving as mayors of Baltimore. She and her husband, Paul Pelosi, a native of San Francisco, have five grown children and nine grandchildren.
From the 2013 PBS Documentary “Makers: Women Who Make America”, examines how women have helped shape America over the past 150 years, striving for a full and fair share of political power and economic opportunity.

Showbusiness, politics, and social leadership it's a complex topic, everyone has a duty to serve the public interest in return for a seat on the congress some elevate those ranks with dignity and many with sacrifices they make for the "Common Good",. However when I hear someone speak about their family with love and care, automatically earns my respect.. Speaking from he frontline representing for any political party it's a big fight, however those who fight behing are the movement of the whole party campaigns., politcs can get brutal but they all circle for the same cause.. Amazing political career and legacy! #LifeStories #NancyPelosi #CandidInterview #Family #Politics #Persistence #2024USA❤🧡💛💚💙💜

There I am retracting an incision with one hand and passing instruments with another on an open cholecystectomy as a surgical technology student when the very nice [unicorn] surgeon tells my preceptor in Spanish "Teach this little girl properly, she learns fast". I looked up at the room full of men and said "Little girl..." they giggled. I said "The little girl is 55 years old, but ok, I'll take it". Stunned room. Thanks for showing the world how much a woman can do in spite of the nonsense that is spewed by fools, Madam Speaker. Well done.

@@moshesierra6849 I can appreciate your feedback but If you are looking for great leaders, it has nothing to do with a party. Great leaders showing traits that make them great, and Nancy does not fit that bill. Just like true politicians she enjoys divisiveness and superbly takes advantage of it.
