"the first orphan ever elected to office" - from self published bio. Highly doubtful that this is true. Almost impossible to prove. --Bamyers99 (talk) 16:28, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable source for "Speak Out Loud" and other non-profit work?[edit]
Can anyone find a reliable source to use for the claims about her non-profit work? The only thing I see is her own bio. I don't see any evidence for the claims made here about the organization. The organization "Speak Out Loud" has a registered address of a house in Atlanta - https://www.georgia-register.com/13439556-speak-out-loud-inc - and there is no evidence for the claim in our article that "The organization has expanded across the country and has chapters in Nigeria." I can't even find any evidence that this is an active organization. --B (talk) 14:50, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As the recent Publix encounter is a disputed he-said / she-said situation, I've tagged the article {{Current person}}. See this report by the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I'm not adding it to the article as it seems more prudent to simply wait for further developments. NE Ent 13:15, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An editor is trying to add this as an alleged hoax at Racial hoax - the sources don't call it a hoax. Doug Wellertalk 05:34, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A search of WAPO turns up only a short piece on the same day from AP. Maybe we should use [1] or [2]? --Doug Wellertalk 07:54, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
