Ep. 10: Natisha Brooks: Education, Mental Health, and the Representation Nashville Residents Deserve

Author: Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller April 18, 2023 Duration: 1:07:44

Climbing the Charts sat down with Natisha Brooks, a retired educator and former Republican candidate for the fifth congressional district of Tennessee, who recently entered the 2023 race for Nashville mayor. Natisha has occupied various teaching roles but is best known for her position as the owner and director of Brooks Home School and Tutoring. We learn about Natisha's decision to enter the mayoral race and the issues she is most passionate about. She breaks down her top three priorities as a mayoral candidate and explains what she plans to do to address excessively high tax rates, empower teachers, and increase access to mental health. Natisha also expands on why she describes herself as a Christian Conservative Constitutionalist (and it's probably not what you think!), her profound respect for all religions, and why she believes the US Constitution is meant to serve all Americans. Listen in to learn more about Natisha, including her top book recommendation and her favorite breakfast spot in Nashville.
