A Door You Have to Walk Through w/ Allison Terracio of Emerge

Grace sits down with Allison Terracio, Executive Director of Emerge South Carolina and Richland County Council member, to explore how Emerge is training Democratic women to run for office—and win. From tackling South Carolina’s political barriers to reclaiming authentic voices in leadership, Allison shares how confidence, storytelling, and community can turn hesitation into action. They discuss gender diversity in politics, the uphill fight for reproductive rights, and what it really takes to build a new generation of women leaders. This conversation is a rallying cry for anyone ready to walk through the door and claim their seat at the table.
