And I'd already, like, knew people in the campaign from just working in the party in general.

And then so, yeah, my first, like, day five was going to the Bronx with the president.

That was a crazy experience.

I think for me, like I grew up very different than most of my cousins and like my even different than my mother did.

Like I grew up in a two parent household.

My parents have been together since they were 19 and 21.

And me and my dad are like the type to have like constructive conversations about stuff like this.

And he was a Trump supporter before me.

And then he was like, you know, you don't really need to care about what other people think.

And I'm also an only child.

So I've never really been that dependent on what other people think about anything.

So I kind of just came to talk to my dad, having conversations.

At the time, I was like in a black political thought class in college.

And this is like when COVID is going on.

And I'm like, we have all these 20 different ideologies.

But what?

We're still like an oppressed community.

I'm like, this makes no sense to me.

And then, you know, I just kind of like the Trump way of just being real and being authentic.

Like you may not like the way it comes out, but it's like he's very straightforward, very direct.
