So talk to the listeners about the path that led you to pursue a doctorate in political science.

Wow.

Yes.

So it was, I just had completed my master's at University of Pacific.

And I was like, there's something, there's a next step that I want to take.

We were just coming off of the ends of COVID.

And I felt pretty much radicalized from that experience in COVID, especially politically about what I wanted to see in terms of change or just better yet comprehension of the political system in general.

So my question out of all that is, do you think that Black people need a messiah, especially in these political turbulent times?
