Cheryl on the black line. You're up dear

Hi how you doing good are you well let's first talk about your journey to where we got here your political

development what were the influences on that well I think it was when Trayvon Martin situation happened.

Way back then, they were interviewing people on CNN,

and it was the riots and all the marching and I felt kind of bad watching that and it was like

this is not helpful but at the same time the way they were reporting it was all one-sided.

And then also, when I started looking at the interviews on CNN,

when they interviewed Trayvon Martin's, I guess his friend,

girlfriend, they kind of made fun of the fact that she said she was a Christian because she smoked weed.

And I didn't really like that. That didn't sit well with me.

So then I started changing channels and I was like well what is this other channel saying I started watching Fox News and then

Shortly after that you know Donald Trump came on the scene and I was like well what does he have to say?

And so when I started watching what he was saying about the Democratic Party

versus the Republican Party it kind of opened up my eyes.

And plus, you know, I watched him from time to time,

you know, on TV as an entertainer.

And so when everything was transpiring,

and I was like, well, you know, maybe I'll vote this way because this lines up with what I believe.

And the, you know, the more you read your Bible, the more you side with the Republican values. And so I don't understand my friends who say I'm still

a Democrat because everybody's racist and I'm like that's not true and we know that's not true. We just we just want to go that way for some reason and so recently I moved to Austin which I don't suggest anybody to do if you're conservative because it's really it's really bad.

I grew up in Austin. I graduated from high school in Austin in 94 and then I moved to Houston to go to school for architecture at U of H and then we had our kids and we decided to purchase some land outside of Austin, which we got in before the big boom where everything just the price just skyrocketed.
