## Resource

Former Atlanta Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms joins us for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about her new memoir, The Rough Side of the Mountain. She opens up about the family challenges that shaped her path to public service and the defining moments from her time as mayor of Atlanta including navigating cyberattacks, leading through the COVID-19 pandemic, and responding to the nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd. We also dive into her life beyond politics and how she balances leadership with family life alongside her husband and four children. We also talk about her time serving as a senior advisor to Former President Joe Biden. Now, as she sets her sights on running for governor of Georgia, Keisha reflects on growth, therapy, resilience, and what it means to truly thrive in a new chapter.
