Who’s Afraid of Rahm Emanuel?
People often ask Amara Enyia whether she fears Chicago Mayor Rahm
Emanuel.
That’s because Enyia, a 30-year-old municipal consultant and community
organizer, is planning to run against Emanuel in the February 2015
mayoral race. Though Emanuel is known for his abrasive style and
attention-getting stunts—such as sending a dead fish in the mail to a
pollster—Enyia scoffs at the idea of being afraid of him.
Enyia herself was raised by activists. In the 1980s and ‘90s, her
parents fought in Nigeria’s civil war and, later, against dictators
Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha. Even after Enyia’s par

A Savvy Girl Scout Is Selling Cookies at a Cannabis Clinic in San Francisco
