How Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Plain Black Jacket Became a Controversy

I speak to women about the fine line we must walk to have power. We are judged harshly and often for not getting it right, but for some who judge us, there is no right, because they don’t want us to be powerful. Hurray! for all the women who do it their way!!!
