Hello. My name is Stephanie Tubbs Jones. I was born on September 10th, 1949. I grew up in a big city called Cleveland, Ohio. When I was a little girl, I loved to play, but I also loved to help. I always wanted to make sure everyone was treated fairly. If someone was sad, I wanted to cheer them up. If something wasn't fair, I wanted to fix it.
When I grew up, I decided to become a leader to help lots of people. I studied very hard in school. I became a special kind of leader called a congresswoman. That just means my job was to go to a special place called Washington, D.C. There, I would speak up for all my friends and neighbors back home in Ohio. I worked to make sure everyone had good schools, safe places to play, and a chance to follow their dreams.
In 1998, I became the very first African American woman from Ohio to be a congresswoman. I was so proud to help my community. I spent my life working to make the world a kinder and fairer place for everyone. I lived to be 58 years old. Today, people remember me as someone who always stood up for what was right and used her voice to help others.
