Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

At age 11, she performed at Carnegie Hall. It was the 1930s, and as she later said, "Black people didn’t perform there." She and her husband moved to Nevada, becoming the first Black people to own a nightclub/casino there: Lillette’s Rhythm Club. https://t.co/4uaZnJ8V2N — PolitiTweet.org

She performed on the road for soldiers during World II, and toured worldwide. In her older age, she reinvented herself as the “Silver Fox” and continued performing and directing, in addition to raising millions for charity work. https://t.co/upipFaGIeE — PolitiTweet.org
