I want to take the time to just post about the individuals that have profoundly inspired me [View all]
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
