I'm the only one who can authorize, you know, an ejection.

Actually, no, the chair is the person charged with maintaining decorum.

The sergeant at arms are exclusively charged with taking orders from the chair.

Yeah, of course.

So of course there are physical damages.

I've had bruises and open wounds all over my, bruises all over my body.

I had a gash on my chin and on my arm.

I've got three,

hernias in my neck and the stress of going through the criminal process has affected my thyroid.

And so a lot of physical issues, of course, psycho-emotional.

I've been diagnosed with PTSD.

and i'm working through that now and then significant financial hardships as well my criminal lawyer was you know 25 000 and that was just the start of it because i'm a i'm a real estate agent and over 30 of my business comes from cold online leads and so what do they do they they google my name and then they see these violent charges and my leads dropped significantly and my number one

The routing website into my agent profile has been the Miami Herald.

So that affected my family financially.

And we basically Airbnb'd our house so that we wouldn't lose our mortgage and got this Airstream and now we're on the road until things pick back up again and I can rebuild.

So yeah, some pretty meaningful changes.

But I think if I look back,

I wouldn't have done anything differently.

I think it's important to show up and I'm in a very privileged position to be able to take those hardships.
