Dr. Amara Enyia

News anchors and political pundits named frontrunners who all of a sudden had to be taken seriously. And the one least mentioned, even in her second bid for mayor? The one floating under the radar? Public policy advocate and social justice front-liner Amara Enyia. She may not end up winning, but this time, once it’s over, she’ll have made her name. (Scoop Jackson)
