I believe in a world where everyone is free & equal. A human rights activist, a person of faith, a member of the LGBTQ+ community and a tennis player. I am at home in nature, hiking mountains and being at the sea. Peace.
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250
