Season 2, Episode 10: District of Columbia Shadow Representative to Congress Oye Owolewa on Political Advocacy in a Time of Occupation
Q: Your home was recently vandalized. Can you talk a bit about that experience?
It makes me realize that it's important to stay safe, and keep yourself safe, and keep my community and my neighbors safe.
Season 2, Episode 10: District of Columbia Shadow Representative to Congress Oye Owolewa on Political Advocacy in a Time of Occupation
Q: How close or far away would you say the district is from obtaining that goal and what more will it take?
DC will need a congressional vote on a bill that would make DC the 51st state, and more likely have a filibuster proof majority of 60 votes.
Season 2, Episode 10: District of Columbia Shadow Representative to Congress Oye Owolewa on Political Advocacy in a Time of Occupation
Q: What are some of the accomplishments you'd say you're most proud of in making in your role as Shadow Rep for DC?
One of the biggest things that I'm proud of is getting people to run for office, getting people to inspire folks. It's really made something to me.
Season 2, Episode 10: District of Columbia Shadow Representative to Congress Oye Owolewa on Political Advocacy in a Time of Occupation
Q: Can you talk a bit about the relationship between shadow representatives and representatives in the US. House of Representatives? What is that connection like?

Q: Could you share any ripples that you feel that Fraud Embrace made in the practice committee?
