There is a common misconception that inner cities are overrun by criminals. I have personally spent time in the Bronx, West Philadelphia, and Baltimore, where the majority of the population is Black, and I have always returned home safely to my family each day. I have also been in Valley Forge Pennsylvania, the Appalachian, and North East Maryland - I know.

I am well acquainted with West Philadelphia, Chester, and Wilmington, Delaware. I have driven for Uber in these areas, both during the day and at night. In 2008 and 2012, I even campaigned in Chester when others were too scared to do so. During the pandemic, I visited homes and neighborhoods in Wilmington, Delaware to provide vaccinations. My experiences have shown me that these communities need understanding and support, and I continue to advocate for them.

I believe that former President Trump unfairly incited fear of Black people, including those in his own party, due to his anxiety about Obama's and Michelle's education and leadership. We should not allow others to define us; instead, we should show them who we truly are. It is a common belief that repeatedly telling lies makes people believe them to be true, but this is not the case. Additionally, there is a misconception that recent African immigrants are somehow better than the American Black population. One can hold this view until they have American Black children, as the environment plays a significant role in shaping one's perspective on the world.
