Kelly Burton, PhD, is a political scientist, entrepreneur, and civic leader whose work explores the relationship between race, power, and democracy in American life.

As CEO of Black Innovation Alliance, she leads a national network advancing entrepreneurship and economic mobility in communities across the country. For more than two decades, her work has focused on the systems, institutions, and power structures that shape opportunity, belonging, and civic life.

Her insights have been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, NBC News, Marketplace, TechCrunch, Inc., and Essence. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Center for Action and Contemplation, founded by Father Richard Rohr.

Drawing on her experience as both a scholar and practitioner, Burton brings a distinctive perspective to questions of race, democracy, and the American experiment. The Price of Union is the culmination of years spent studying how power is organized in American society and what happens when the systems that once sustained political order begin to break down.

She holds a PhD in Political Science from Emory University and lives in Atlanta with her husband, Steve.
