“Copeland said she embraced her role as a translator – not one that communicates between two languages but someone who can be an effective political communicator to different cultures and communities. She told New York City Council members she could come over and talk to them for free to begin developing those conversations. “
The translator piece is something Black women have to handle innately and it’s something I always think about now as to why I do it as opposed to just doing the work for the heck of it,” she said.
Copeland, who led communications strategy for Rep. Yvette Clarke during the June primaries, was one of several Black female political consultants last year who worked as high-ranking members of successful campaigns.”
