Give it a go on the day.

But like, you know, I'm not going to be that.

Yeah, that's a very important question.

It's easy to look at issues and the issues are so large that you feel like you're not making a contribution.

Regardless of how small or large the contribution is or the impact might be, it's equally as important.

A simple act of kindness or action can create an endless ripple.

Like I said before, I wouldn't be mayor today if it wasn't for my English teacher that took me to debating.

I wouldn't be mayor today.

I would never have run for council if I wasn't inspired by those young people that were leading change during the tower lockdowns.

And so you never know who's out there watching and who's seeing what you're doing.

And so, yeah, I am content with the work that's being done.

Because, you know, you might not see it, but you just got to remind yourself that it's important work you're doing.

Yeah, I've been to Sudan a few times.

I was actually there in 2023.

I came back a month before the fighting broke out.

And, you know, my dad's extremely proud and my dad is one of the tribal leaders back in our village.

And so I don't know if I inherited kind of, you know, any like leadership values or anything.

But yeah, I am very proud of my dad.

He's very proud of me.
