Donald Trump: A Refugee’s PerspectiveTop Story - January 2018
The past few days have been unbelievably difficult for me. Watching this country, my home, the United States of America, turn into something eerily familiar and terrifying has been equal parts shocking and scary. Maybe shocking isn’t the right word because let’s be real, anyone that has truly paid attention to Donald Trump in the past year or so isn’t shocked by his actions or the most recent events. I think more than anything, I’m saddened by the amount of support he is still getting. I’m saddened by the lack of responsibility and awareness from people who put this man in office. And I’m mostly saddened by people I’ve been friends with over the years who still remain silent on these issues and this presidency. Who have I surrounded myself with the past few years? What kind of people did I grow up with? These are no friends of mine.

From Sports to Social
In 2015, I made one of the toughest decisions of my life. I decided to leave a really great job, a promising career, and a lot of people I loved for quite frankly all the wrong reasons; reasons I won’t go into too much depth here, but let me just say that leaving my job as a sports reporter at Inside Carolina, covering UNC athletics, has sincerely been one of my biggest regrets — a regret I’ve carried with me for almost three years now. I had a really good thing going in Chapel Hill covering UNC, but like any 20 something at the time, I also had a lot of impatience. After years of putting in work, I became restless and bitter watching people around me experience success I thought I too deserved. I mean I had given the industry of sports journalism almost four years of my life, when was it going to be my turn? It wasn’t fair and I just couldn’t stand it anymore. So I made a choice. I chose to move down to Atlanta and shift my career focus from sports journalism to social media.
