I want someone who experienced pain to be president.
I want a president who is Hispanic or Black or mixed.
I want someone who knows the feeling of discrimination.
A president that fights and never gives up.
A person who came from the hood, the island, the street.
I want a president who has been abused.
Someone that’s been on welfare, who survived cancer.
I want a president who has seen murder first hand.
