Learn how an everyday citizen got inspired and engaged in the political process because of the social issues effected by them. Queen said, "After the 2016 elections I was over the politics then 2020 came around andan unfortunate story (Breonna Taylor) caught my attention started my genesis for what I do now. My motivation is bringing awareness to stories that are NOT on MSM or fit the narrative for MSM. I just want my community members to be alert about the status of our community from political, health (Covid19, Black Maternal Rate) to incidents that affect us (indirectly, directly) and mix in with everything in between. Ultimately letting persons who view a video/read a postthat the stories/content told will be told with authenticity and grace."
