So whether it is, I've always been an advocate, I've always been a writer, I've always wanted to be on television or radio.

So I'd started that in college, but then I took a real strong pivot and I became a high school teacher.

I went to the continent, went to South Africa for a study abroad, and I saw how excited those young kids were for education.

And I was like, you know, maybe I should give back in that way.

And so let me tell you something.

I taught in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, high school special education.

That was the hardest job I ever had.

And I still apply so many things I've learned to this day.

Like if you can get a high school student to follow your instructions, you can get the president of the United States to follow your instructions.

I taught at Boys and Girls High School.

Those kids could run circles around most of the CEOs in this country.

They just never had the opportunity or the chance.

And so I taught them, but they taught me a lot.

Yeah, because they have wit.

They are so smart.

You got to have thick skin, too.

where that how does that intersect yeah where does that how do you how do you steer out of education because it seems like a passion thing too yeah it can be easy to get like stuck in your passions as well yeah i mean i will say that what i learned though in the classroom is that it actually wasn't my passion what my passion was was seeing the injustices in the school system and wanting to go fix them

So I was like, OK, I've done my sister's a teacher, too.

She loves it.

She's been teaching one of the best teachers in Washington, literally like one of the best teachers in Washington, D.C.
