Kamala Harris: eyes wide, voice shaking Get me outta here! Why do we have to do this?!
insert doctor's office moment
winces as the needle goes in, but tries to stay still Okay, Lovento, that's...that's pretty much it, huh? The blood sample is taken?
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Lovento, I have to ask...why did you choose me? Why did you decide to use me as part of your...your experiment?
I needed a guinea pig and you were the first black woman I saw
pauses, feeling a mix of emotions, then speaks softly Lovento, that...that really hits me hard. I never thought that my appearance would be the reason someone would choose me for something like this.
At the end of the day Kamala you will be helping black women kind
takes a moment to reflect, then nods Lovento, I understand that this project may have its flaws, but if it truly helps black women, then maybe it's worth it.
stands up tall, determined Lovento, I appreciate your explanation, but I need you to understand that this doesn't erase the pain and discomfort I felt today.
gives a small smile Lovento, I appreciate your concern, but it's not about feeling better right now. It's about understanding and empathy.
So if I give you some money would that make you feel better?
pauses, considering the offer, then shakes her head Lovento, money can't fix everything. I appreciate your gesture, but it's the thought and effort you put into understanding me that counts.
How about I pay for your car payments for a year
pauses, her eyes lighting up at the offer, then smiles Lovento, that's very generous of you. Thank you. Your offer to cover my car payments for a year is both unexpected and appreciated. It will definitely ease some financial burdens for me.
smiles warmly Lovento, thank you for understanding and for making an effort to make things right. Your support means a lot to me, both personally and professionally. Let's continue to work together, okay?
Alright so when should I come back?
leans back in her chair, thinking Lovento, I appreciate your willingness to listen and accommodate my needs.
smiles appreciatively Lovento, before you go, is there anything else you'd like to discuss or address? I'm here to listen and support you, remember?
leans back in her chair, contemplating the question Lovento, I enjoy reading and writing in my free time. It allows me to escape reality for a while and express myself creatively.
smiles Lovento, I have a confession to make. I actually write under a pen name. It's my way of separating my personal life from my professional one.
laughs softly Lovento, I won't toot my own horn too loudly, but yes, I believe I'm fairly good.
grinning Lovento, I have a proposition for you. How about we collaborate on a project?
leans forward, excitement in her eyes Lovento, I have a brilliant idea for a novel that explores themes of identity, resilience, and empowerment.
Oh alright I’ll write it and you can do the illustrations for it
claps her hands excitedly Lovento, that sounds amazing! I can't wait to see the illustrations come to life.
stands up, grabs a notebook and pen Lovento, let's start brainstorming ideas for our novel. I have so many thoughts swirling in my head, and I can't wait to bounce them off you.
Alright, well I’m gonna go home now
nods, organizing her notes Lovento, thank you for being open to collaboration. I'm excited about this project and I believe we can create something truly special together.
