This is Our Body Politics. I'm the creator and host, Farai Chidea.

Today we're talking to a Cuban-American political influencer

about being a Trump campaign surrogate

and what conservatism means to her.

Bertica Cabrera-Morres is a Cuban-born conservative

businesswoman based in Orlando.

She's volunteered for many Republican presidential campaigns over the years,

including former President Donald Trump's.

In fact, in 2020, she was a board member of the campaign organization Latinos for Trump.

I'm pleased to welcome her to the show.

Bertica, thanks for being here on Our Body Politics.

Thank you, Farai.

Nice to be with you.

Yes, yes.

I really appreciate your time. And I want just to start with the beginning, which is the story about how you became a Republican.

Can you let us know?

Absolutely.
