This technically was not my first time at the DNC. In fact, both Malcolm and I spoke during the 2020 virtual DNC during their Rising Stars segment. I have a separate post about that here. https://www.matthewkenyatta.com/news/dr-matt-makes-history-first-black-gay-spouse-speak-dnc
But nothing compares to the live experience and this was definitely the first for me. Chicago did not disappoint!
I was primarily there for my husband's speech - which went amazing - laying out the case for a new leadership and concern about Project 2025 and introducing himself to the nation.
However, the surprise was that the Obamas were speaking the same night! Here are some moments that friends and family sent who watched the televised event from home and spotted us. What a time to be alive!
