Those people who normally come from the caribbean are very conservative, they come here, and dont identify with the right party. My question is, how are you able to remove the d and the r and connect to people on a oneonone basis . And if there was one particular issue, what was that issue to help your message connect .

You could send clothes, money. You could physically help them clean up. In this case you want to do something, but youre peeking into this really tragic, sad world, and the only thing i think a lot of people and parents can do is hug their kids and pray for those families, and i think theres a weird sort of dont you feel like a helpless feeling . You want to do something, and theres nothing worse than standing watching someone who is in pain and not being able to lean in and help.
