The video was widely covered by the news and shared over a million times.[6][7][8][9] A year later, Garry stated he had taken her advice to heart and his views had changed.[10][11] BiographyHeather Charisse McGhee grew up in the south side of Chicago[4] and is the daughter of Gail C. Christopher and Earl J. McGhee. She was initially drawn to theater and creative writing but eventually became interested in economic policy.[4] She graduated from Milton Academy in 1997.[12] McGhee received a B.A. in American Studies from Yale University in 2001.[4] After graduating, she taught English in Barcelona for a short time, but soon after 9/11 she was out of work and moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in television writing.[13] After about a year, around the age of 22, she moved to New York and began working with the non-profit think tank Demos.[4] McGhee connected with Elizabeth Warren and her daughter Amelia Warren Tayagi on the topic of credit card debt in 2003.[4] She was a Deputy Policy Director for the John Edwards 2008 presidential campaign. After feeling limited by her education level, in 2005 McGhee began attending the school of law at University of California, Berkeley, because she believed a law degree could help give her the credentials to change public policy. She graduated with a J.D. in 2009.[2][4][14] McGhee returned to Demos in 2009 and co-chaired a task force with Americans for Financial Reform which helped develop the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2009.[15] McGhee became the president of Demos in 2014.[4][14][16] She has said the Trump candidacy and presidency has helped open up conversations surrounding race and class.[17] McGhee once responded to a self-claimed prejudiced man on C-SPAN, and offered the caller advice on overcoming his fear of black men, including meeting a black family or attending a black church. The video was widely covered by the news and shared over a million times.[6][7][8] A year later, the caller claimed that he had taken her advice to heart and his views had changed.[10] In early 2018, she stepped down as president and is currently a distinguished senior fellow at Demos.[18] In October 2016, McGhee married Cassim Saud Cauldwell Shepard.
