Soon after the results I went into Drew’s room, still in awe of the history that had just unfolded. I got on my knees next to Drew’s bed, put my hands on him and the tears started streaming. I thanked God that His will had been done. I reflected on the fact that all of the struggle, pain, disrespect, death and intimidation endured by the men before us had finally paid off in an overwhelmingly tangible way. My son Drew’s life as a Black Man in America will be a little easier. When he woke up the next day I told him that he could be ANYTHING he wanted to be and he enthusiastically said “Of course”! It is definitely the dawn of a brand new day.

This has really made me feel hopeful again. I’m so proud to have him as our president! We are lucky that this happened at such a fairly young age in my life. I really believe that change is coming and he’ll have us back in the right direction!

I lay in bed tossing and turning at 1am, I was too excited to sleep! I don’t know how to describe how I was feeling but it was truly wonderful! I kept thinking of the song from The Whiz, “Can You Feel a Brand New Day”.
