“

Nashville’s Metro councillor, Olivia Hill, joined guests at The Hermitage Hotel’s ballroom to witness the historic swearing-in ceremony on Monday (2 October).

“I am elated,” she said. “For every trans kid in the state of Tennessee who has felt discomfort or that they didn’t belong… we are valid.”

Hill secured one of the five at-large seats on the council with 12.9 per cent of the vote during run-off elections last week.

The win was historic in more ways than one, with all five-at-large council seats being won by women for the first time.
