Tj was inspired
by greatness from District 18, Barbara Jordan and Mickey
Leland, at an early age. When asked about memories of her
childhood in District 18, Tj replies, “Our District
is not poor, it is, and has been, rich with potential.” She
also remembers the bond she shared with her neighbors,
fellow District 18 residents, while standing in a government
assistance line for food. “It didn’t matter
what color we were, or what religion or age this person
was- we were hungry people. Together.” |
