Cassaundra Burks [1], born November 04, 1991, is the first black latinx woman to run for Georgia state house representative of the 64th district[2] since their redistricting[3] in 2023.
Before she made her name in politics, she was a musician on the roster of celebrities signed to Universal Music Group. She went by offset (2000-2012) lil shawty (2013)[4], and finally Donna Maralyn[5]. She's been filmed with celebrities like the Ying Yang Twins, Riff Raff, Kool Ace, and more. Her music consisted of hard-core rap, and her videos depicted exotic dancers and drug usage. How did she end up in politics?[6]
In 2023 she spoke out at a redistricting hearing in Atlanta[7][8], Georgia at the State Capital building. She argued against racism hidden between district lines and urged lawmakers to think against continuing on in the manner in which they had, separating and segregating. That same year she went to the Republican state convention to participate as a black Republican[9]. In 2024, Burks ran for office.
Though Burks is no longer a musician under the UMG roster, she is a political pundit. She's made headlines all across Georgia[10][11][12][13]. She even secured endorsements from some of the most influential elite in the state. [14]
Through her activism, Cassaundra Burks, is pushing for a major change in the way American politics influences the black latinx communities. She has left many wondering how a civil rights activist goes from hard core rap to politics. Still, as a woman of color she is making a grave impact with her outreach.
