Two principle emotions are said to drive people's actions.
Love and fear are the strongest and of our emotions. They set the stage for how we react to new experiences. Who we become is from those experiences, which is most of our childhood. Emotions are how we develop as people.
The anxiety of knowing as a black person, a trip to the store, a jog, or simply coming home can lead to the untimely departure from your family... your place here on this Earth. This sits heavy on my heart.
I've known these emotions all my life. I've had to fear racism and racist acts. I've lived through the fear of death. But, I've also had the joy of seeing family and friends laugh together and the love of going to a crab feast. Anyone who knows me knows I love a good crab feast.
You see, these two emotions have given me determination. I'm determined to take these experiences to Congress. I'm determined that we shouldn't have to fear our own world. The fear of school, losing a job, medical care and debt.
