Live from Florida

My name is De Nishia Yearby. I am a 22-year-old journalist from Chicago, IL, but I currently stay in Tallahassee, FL for school.

My first time voting experience made me feel powerful to know that the fate of all running officials were in my hands—to a certain extent, literally. I felt like a leader whose opinions mattered, and I would just have to sit at home and wait with excitement to see how many other Americans agreed with my choices. The experience made me feel like I was officially an adult, but reality hit when I came home from school and my mother made me do the dishes. Some adult then, huh.

You will definitely find me from time to time giving you the scoop on our Rock the Vote artists (http://www.rockthevote.com/music). It’s hard to choose my favorite because there are sooooo many talented artists who suport Rock the Vote, but I’ll choose John Legend as my favorite artist of the month, maybe even the year. Why? Because he’s a legend. Seriously speaking, he is a very talented and creative person. John Legend creates his own swagger, which can’t be imitated or duplicated by anyone. He stands out as a leader in the music world, and even wins the hearts of many, including me, by strongly supporting what he believes. GO JOHN LEGEND!



So there you have it. My personal perspective on a couple of things. You will never know what to expect from me, but whatever comes your way I assure you it will be worth your listening and viewership. In five months you will hear and see it all from me. I look forward to caputuring you and your awesome viewpoints. As a Rock the Trail Reporter, I know you expect me to report the news with truth, pride and an edge to capture your attention. In return, I am looking for you to take advantage of this election. Make it yours and Rock the Vote with me.
