Nabilah has dedicated her life and career to advancing progressive ideals in Georgia.

During the critical Senate runoffs, Nabilah led an organization called Save Our Senate, which knocked on over 34,000 doors, turning out Black and Brown voters across Gwinnett for Senators Ossoff and Warnock.
At the national level, Nabilah worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential Campaign and later at the Democratic National Committee. At the DNC, she helped raise millions of dollars that were sent back down to states across the South, flipping dozens of seats up and down the ballot in 2018. Following the murder of George Floyd and amidst calls for racial justice across the nation, Nabilah partnered with now-Gwinnett County Commissioner Kirkland Carden to demand the removal of the county’s last remaining Confederate monument, which had been placed just steps away from the site of the lynching of Charles Hale. Thanks to her continued activism, the racist monument was taken down.
