Morgan Booker, Ohio Legislative Black Caucus
Working for the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus was one of, if not the most memorable experience of my political career. Not only did I gain invaluable experience working in and around the Ohio Statehouse, I was able to gain connections through networking events and the friendships I made with my fellow interns. I was able to split my time between working as an intern with the Caucus, helping to draft official communications and as an intern with Representative Stephanie Howse of OH-11, researching senior care facilities in the district.
One of my more memorable experiences from working at the Caucus was the ability to celebrate Juneteenth with the oldest black caucus in the country. As a young black woman who was eager to create lasting change with policy, it was a day full of excitement and gratitude. I want to thank Jenni and Dr. Cohen for helping me find this internship, and the entire Bliss Institute for helping me get there!
