Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms joins CNN as a Political Commentator

(ATLANTA, GA) Politics News: (Article By Ken Brooks) Keisha Lance Bottoms took to social media to spread the news Monday morning, calling it a “dream” of hers. Bottoms, who served one term as the 60th mayor of the city, shared the news on her Twitter page with a quote from Langston Hughes and recalled her dream of being a journalist in college.

I am thrilled to officially announce that I have joined @CNN as a Political Commentator. As a @FAMU_1887 student, I applied for the coveted VJ program at @CNN and didn’t get in. To now join the team nearly 30 yrs later is a reminder that a dream deferred is never a dream denied.
