Hey friends and welcome to the Happy Hour with Jamie Ivy Podcasts.

I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show, I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things

in life, the little things in life and everything in between.

Friends today on the show, I've got a politician.

I don't even know if we've had a politician on the show before,

but today I'm joined by Trinay McGee who is a Connecticut State Representative.

In fact, she's not just any state representative, she's the youngest black woman

at the Capitol right now.

And so it was such an honor to hear from her and I didn't expect this in our conversation,

but we talked a lot about politics and the arts and how she feels so many similarities

in working in both worlds.

She is an actor, she is an acting coach and also represents her state of Connecticut in the Capitol.

I first found out about Trinay at the Stanford Life event that I was at in Washington,

DC in January and I had several people there say you should talk to Trinay.

She is a pro-life, whole life, Connecticut representative and I knew that I wanted to talk to her

about what it means for her to be pro-life in her world, in her personal life and more importantly,

as a representative of the state of Connecticut, how is she fighting for the lives of the unborn

and the lives of women in every build that she looks at.

So you're going to enjoy this conversation. It was really intriguing to me.

It's not very often that I talk to politicians and so I had fun with it.

So here is my conversation with Trinay McGee or should I say state representative Trinay McGee.
