I've lived many places all over the world, so I've always seen myself as a citizen of the world.

Now everyone has eyes, and now everyone has evidence. That's really changed how we tell the news and what we get from it.

Traveling the world I've learned that progressives, regardless of their locations, think in a global space.

In an American context, let's say gay rights or marriage policy - that's a progressive thing. I understand that in an American context.

I'm coming from a place where I have seen a different way to handle it, or a slightly different way to go through what is happening, that gives me some perspective. So I think it always helps. It always helps to have someone who has traveled the world or seen a different way to do something. That helps give you perspective.

One of the people from my online team said he didn't notice - almost immediately after the [Donald] Trump victory within the following days, he noticed that there was a severe spike in hateful messages that were coming towards me.

I want to be in a position where I get to start off fresh. I don't have any preconceived notion of how I should feel.
