I remember basically none of my childhood. One of only a few very clear memories is my mom sobbing when he won. Clear as I day recall asking why she was crying and her saying “honey, the first black man is president. That means anything will be possible for you”. How the actual fuck did we end up back here….

I was 18 and he was the first president I’ve ever voted for, and I was scream, screaming, jumping up and down so happy that I was a part of history. You could feel how different the world became the instant he was officially recognized as the next president, it was hundreds of years of history, being turned on its head and being told that we could change and we can do better that goodness is there.

I was living on the Texas/Arkansas line in Texas, but working for the state of Arkansas. I remember being alone in my apartment and crying 😭. I also remember how quiet the office was the next day at work, those people were mad. I was overjoyed ♥️
