12-Year-Old Brooklyn 'Feminist' Writes Adorable Fan Letter to Hillary Clinton
"I would be completely willing to help you out after school."
An adorable 12-year-old from Mary McDowell Friends School in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, just did more for Hillary Clinton’s campaign than the presidential candidate’s highest-paid Brooklyn Heights staffer.
In a letter tweeted by Clinton on Tuesday morning and confirmed to be authentic by Patch, the little girl, named Olivia, writes in little-girl handwriting so perfectly sloppy it could be a font: “I am a huge fan of yours, and I really hope you become president.”
Olivia is a poster child for Democratic party ideals: She’s got two dads and two learning disabilities, and at her young age, is already a proud advocate for gay rights and dyslexia-friendly programming in public schools. When she grows up, Olivia would like to help all women achieve equal rights. But for now, she’s got some free time after school — and ”would be completely willing” to help Clinton out with the campaign.
Don’t worry, Olivia. You’ve done plenty.
