In Georgia, where you live, determined for far too long whether you get seen, supported, or invested in. With career centers closing, childcare deserts widening, and rural counties losing access to training and jobs, the gaps across our 159 counties are more visible than ever. In this episode, Nikki breaks down the real data behind county disparities and explains why she created Every County Counts, a statewide movement inviting Georgians to “claim their county” and say, “We matter too.”

From shrinking workforce infrastructure to uneven economic investment, Nikki shares why representation must reach beyond metro areas and how claiming your county helps build a Department of Labor that serves every community. With four counties already claimed, Nikki discusses what this early momentum reveals about those who are ready to be seen.
