through the ALN Mentorship Network. A large part of why I was able to accomplish so much during my summer internship with Stawi Foods in Nairobi, Kenya was due to the support I received through the ALN Mentorship Network. Check out this 2 minute video where I describe my use of the ALN network, and what I was able to achieve with the help of: Ahsan Manji – Managing Director for East Africa, Weetabix Alex Okosi – Managing Director, MTV Networks Africa Dorothy Ghettuba – CEO, Spielworks Media…

![•[Exec Summ] I’m not a fan of using my personal platforms to air political opinions, but I am so unbelievably shocked and infuriated by Trump’s behavior in today’s briefing, that I don’t know how else to express it. • •[Facts] In Monday’s press briefing, Trump 1) actually uttered the words, repeatedly, "The authority of the President is total", and when pressed by a reporter on “who told you the President has total authority?", cut her off with “ENOUGH!”, and 2) exploited a press briefing to air 3 min of video propaganda praising the “10/10" job he’s done with the pandemic. And, as per usual, he shut down a female reporter by saying, “You know you’re a fake, you know that, your whole network, the way you cover it, is fake” (CBS). • •[Clarifying Comment] I am not asking for a judgment on Trump as a president or human being, although my opinion there is probably pretty clear. I am asking this question PURELY as a judgment of today’s press briefing during our county’s first experience declaring a major disaster in all 50 states simultaneously. • •[Prompt #1] HOW. IS. THIS. OK. • •[Historical Context] Think about all the regimes America has fought against to uphold our supposed morals of liberty and freedom. We’ve fought against dictatorships, organizations, and terrorists that have committed genocides, holocausts, and war. Do you know how many of those regimes started? With dangerous dictators who manipulated media and biases to their own end goal. We are literally taking the first (few) step(s) down that path, given the dynamics of our president towards press reporters in the newsroom today, and his behavior towards and discrediting of the alleged “fake news” in general. • •[Theoretical Juxtaposition] Can you imagine ANY president, EVER, acting even somewhat the way Trump did today? Any. Just name one. Ever. Which president has ever acted, even remotely, in such a terrifyingly ill-advised and disrespectful manner? I am blown away by and terrified of how this man is in office, has BEEN in office for 3.5 years, and that there is even a debate as to whether he could win re-election or not. • •[Prompt #2] WHAT.
