Artea Holmwood had always been someone who aimed not just to meet expectations but to surpass it.
In everyone's eyes, she was someone who had her shit together. From a young age, she had straight As, won 1st place in every competition she joined, including in the fields of Science, Mathematics, Journalism, Debate, Sports, and even the Arts.
If Artea puts her mind to it, she will succeed above all.
She also had the picture perfect family, who supported her throughout everything she pursues. Politics in the 90s wasn't really an easy field to enter as a woman of color, much less excel at. The US had 42 presidents at this point, none of which were female nor POC.
The same could be said about the student government of Holmwood University.
