00:00Sure, and you mentioned your mom there, Zuni Duarte,

00:03and we spoke to her a couple of weeks ago,

00:05and I'm just, before I pick up on some of those points,

00:07I mean, she must be pretty pleased to have you back home,

00:10and she fought really hard on your behalf.

00:12I'm just wondering, when you were in prison,

00:14did you feel the encouragement that she was giving you?

00:17Yeah, so throughout my whole time incarcerated,

00:20my mom wasn't a very political person beforehand.

00:23The most political thing she did

00:24was go to the voting booth and check a box,

00:29specifically in 2016, she voted for Hillary Clinton

00:32because she wanted a woman to be elected,

00:35but she wasn't political at all

00:36until she saw what happened to her son,

00:38and the support she gave me

00:43led me through this entire time of three years.

00:47I spent almost my entire time in solitary confinement,

00:51so the small amount of times that I called her

00:54helped me get through it,

00:55and I'm very thankful that I have a warrior mom,

00:58and now I know where I get it from.
