Even though she is known for her reality TV persona as a “villain,” in her new role within the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth — more commonly known by her trademarked name as “Omarosa” — will be a staunch advocate for communities that have been “suffering and struggling.”
That is the take that Omarosa’s pastor — Rev. K.W. Tulloss — had on the announcement this week that Omarosa —a business school instructor at Howard University — had been appointed as assistant to the president and director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison.
“I think she’s someone that we can trust and count on,” said Tulloss, who is also president of the Los Angeles chapter of Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.
“She has a big heart for the communities within our country that are suffering and struggling,” Tulloss said.
Tulloss pointed to Omarosa’s background and track record — from being raised in the housing projects in Youngstown, Ohio, to her missionary work in Haiti to expressing concern over the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Garner — as factors that show she understands “the challenges of our communities.”
“She’s going to bring not only a heart but an added voice of concern because she’s been here, she’s done the work with the communities,” Tulloss said.
Tulloss’ remarks came as the nation prepares to usher in a new era under the forthcoming presidency of the brash billionaire businessman, whose cabinet picks thus far have heavily consisted of military generals and fellow billionaires.
