Cassie Chambers

Cassie Chambers is a lawyer in Louisville, Kentucky. She was born in Appalachia to two college-age parents who brought her home from the hospital to a rented trailer. She grew up without a lot of resources and with a strong hillbilly accent. Despite her humble beginnings, she eventually earned three Ivy League degrees. Chambers has a unique perspective on Appalachia, as she sees it as both the place that shaped who she became and the place from which she gained opportunities to see the world. She is grateful for her connections to land, community, and family and seeks to understand how she fits in to that which she left behind. Chambers is also aware of the consequences of portrayals like Hillbilly Elegy on people like her Aunt Ruth. She encourages others to seek out writers and artists who recognize the value in small mountain towns and their inhabitants, rather than relying on simplistic narratives that can perpetuate negative stereotypes and hinder progress.
