Everybody in the working class is important, whether you're black or white and that's what I want them to feel and know from Our Revolution.

My mother raised me herself, along with my six younger siblings, in Cleveland, and life wasn't easy even in the best of times. At age 42, she died, and it fell on me, then aged 22 and working minimum wage, to take care of all of us. At the time, I was newly married with a baby son. And I was deeply afraid for our future.

I was born to teenage parents who got married young and divorced early.
