My 10 year old daughter Viviana and I were so hyped the night before @AOC's June '18 primary race, watching her FB live streams & following her since. We're NYers but migrated abroad over 12 years ago bc no healthcare & few prospects despite our crazy expensive Master's degree.
As an educator, I've introduced @AOC 2 multiple groups of students from every continent & proudly explained how Queens, NY is the most diverse place on planet. Showed her "Message from the Future" as me & my Geography students choked back tears of hope & celebrated her "realness"
The political is always personal. I would've died had I not emigrated to Taiwan & received excellent single-payer coverage & medical attention that I was denied throughout my 20s while I was bartending & waiting tables in Manhattan.
