I want to take the time to just post about the individuals that have profoundly inspired me
Congressman John Lewis. The things this man did for the advancement of civil rights.
Stacey Abrams, future President of the United States. This woman has captured my imagination, and I just can't wait til the day I get to vote for this woman for President of the United States.
President Barack Obama. When President Obama was elected I was a teenager in high school. I wasn't even eligible to vote yet. At the time, I was absolutely convinced that a black man named Barack Obama couldn't be elected. I'm glad I was proven wrong. My first vote in a Presidential election was 2012, a vote which I cast for Barack Obama.
Honorable mention(s): Maxine Waters
