And she wouldn't give it up for the world.

I was like, this is not it for me.

And so I then went and I was like, I'm going to study law.

So I can figure out how to file lawsuits, how to, you know, my kids would get stopped by police in Brooklyn.

And they, you know, I want to figure out how to advocate for them.

The same time I was living in Brooklyn was when the Barclays Center was built, which is where now the Nets play and the Liberty play.

And they had to get rid of a lot of low income, affordable housing there.

And they just took it away from people from because the eminent domain.

So I was seeing all these things happen around me.

It was the year.

Sean Bell was murdered by police officers coming out of a club, leaving his bachelor party the night before his wedding.

Like police violence, economic injustice, housing issues, just everything was like compounding on me.

And I was like, I want to change the world.

And so I went to law school.

When I finished law school was when the reelection of Barack Obama was happening.

And I...

has studied some people that I really thought I would want to do what they did in their career.

And one of the things that I learned is like, if you want to get into politics and really get into advocacy, you got to start early on a campaign.

So I moved back to my home state of Ohio and I worked on the reelection of Obama for two years.

And there was like this moment in that campaign where I could have got a pretty big promotion and managed like this massive team.
