1
00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:03.080
<v 3>My name is Catari Giglio. I'm 20 years old,</v>

2
00:00:03.550 --> 00:00:06.840
currently studying graphic design at Suffolk University.

3
00:00:07.420 --> 00:00:10.080
I'm currently three loans deep for my education,

4
00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:13.800
about 35K per loan.

5
00:00:29.570 --> 00:00:32.880
<v 4>Black borrowers are those who are most impacted by student debt,</v>

6
00:00:32.909 --> 00:00:37.840
and recognizing that black borrowers on average have about $53,000 in student

7
00:00:37.841 --> 00:00:41.080
debt, we need to make sure that this conversation is ongoing, right?

8
00:00:41.081 --> 00:00:44.479
There's still more to be done, but this is a great step in the right direction,

9
00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:45.081
right? This is,

10
00:00:45.081 --> 00:00:48.920
this shows us that the White House is willing to dream with us about a future

11
00:00:49.090 --> 00:00:52.520
where we're able to see the burden of student debt be lifted from black

12
00:00:52.521 --> 00:00:53.760
borrowers all across America.

13
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:00.400
<v 3>Because I'm undocumented,</v>

14
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.840
I don't apply for any type of federal loan. I can,

15
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.920
I am only allowed to apply to private loans and there is no loan forgiveness for

16
00:01:10.921 --> 00:01:11.481
private loans,

17
00:01:11.481 --> 00:01:16.000
which is why this new thing that Biden is like

18
00:01:16.270 --> 00:01:19.360
approving is just, doesn't count for me really.

19
00:01:19.361 --> 00:01:23.000
It doesn't really make a difference in my situation at all.
