Synopsis

2018 was the year that a record breaking 528 women ran for congress. Many of these women won their seats, including Ilhan Omar and AOC. Silky was not one of them. She ran though! In The Total Nobody Who Ran for Office, Silky reflects on those critical moments in one’s life when they step outside of their comfort zone, compete as an underdog, and challenge the traditional conventions of power… even if it means nearly dying from embarrassment. Join her as she speaks to rooms both empty and full, loses a best friend, gains a #squad, makes her mother cry, comforts herself with cold burritos, and learns important life lessons on confidence, friendship, and what it means to fight for change. “Please don’t embarrass me.” - Silky’s mom“Silky who That’s a weird name?” - Local voter“You better mention me in your book!” - Silky’s sister in law, Mahnoor
