And so that really frustrated me.
And so that's why I decided to put my hands up in 2020.
No, I had no mentor in the politics space.
I was never really much a political person.
I was very much grassroot, community orientated.
But 2020 elections were a strange one because obviously it's COVID.
You know, I couldn't door knock.
I couldn't hold community gatherings.
And no one really knew who I was, right?
Besides obviously, you know, the community I had worked with.
So luckily it was a social media event.
So it did kick off and a lot of people resonated with what I had to say and I was able to raise a lot of important issues to the surface of the conversation.
But I ended up losing and it was a very public loss.
And it was at the time, you know, I felt like, oh, I got rejected.
My community don't want me to represent them.
And obviously it's human nature to think like this.
My relationship with problems now is pretty healthy.
