Sophia has been a friend for a while and if I had to say what is special about her, it’s that she has an intense passion for doing what’s right… that’s why I was so happy to see how supportive she was toward working to win the 2016 Olympics in the united states of America… she even squeezed this interview in on the way to getting her tonsils out! enjoy!

welcome home mr. president!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrtpVc0AhEs

Have you heard? the president is coming back home to chicago!

I’ll be at his “welcome home party” on Thursday July 23rd at 6pm at the Hyatt Regency- and I put details below on how you can join us! But first wanted to share a fun story. this all made me think of when I was asked to host an event for him at union station a couple years ago. will never forget, rode up in special motorcade car w/just Barack, Michelle, and an fresh entourage of super intense secret service agents. I was so nervous. all I could think about was not having a panic attack before delivering the “next president’s” introduction on stage before thousands of guests and millions watching on tv!

Funny thing was, Barack & Michelle were so happy, relaxed and comfortable, while I was freaking out, asking me all these questions about my life, work, family, friends. secretly all I wanted to do was practice my speech so not to mess up! They didn’t allow that. they were too interested in hearing what young people were going through, wanted & needed. I think I stuttered something about how we just want to know what’s going on and know what exactly we can do to make things better. now that I think about it. not a bad answer?

Anyway, the quick video clip above is the moment after I gave that intro (thus the flush post panic look in my face). can’t wait to see him again on the 23rd just as a relaxed happy guest! If interested in coming too, event info at https://www.democrats.org/page/contribute/july23hyatt?custom1=Gen44
