Why I Vote

Politics, a polarizing word in whatever context it appears in, but one that must be discussed and shared no matter what. With the upcoming election, I thought it was a relevant time to share some personal experiences that highlighted the importance of why I vote in not only presidential elections but also local ones wherever one resides. I used to identify myself as a non-political but that slowly changed after facing a variety of experiences living in Ukraine, the U.S., and Denmark. I came to the realization that I do have a duty because at the end of the day it’s not only a vote, it’s a voice.
