Election Pitch

Soyini Driscoll is a born and raised NYC resident who graduated form Colombia University now working as an editor at Conde Nast. She is a young Christian, Africa American woman who has strong political views about the current election. With the recent shootings going on around the country, Soyini has deep conerns about her own safety and the safety of her family. She has 3 younger siblings who she feels deeply protective over. The rhetoric of Donald Trump brings concern to her about the future of racism in America.

I will discuss with her about the state our country is in right now in regards to racism (black lives matter movement, police brutality, etc.) and her views on how each candidate is dealing with these issues and the ideas they are proposing to correct it.

Her Christian faith adds another perspective to her decision making process and seeing who’s views are more aligned with hers in that way.

Soyini has a dynamic perspective of the future of this country that many other NYC residents can relate to.
