As it happens, Ocasio-Cortez was an activist even without realizing it.
“I felt like I was just saying things that were very common sense,” she told Insider.
“I would just say, ‘Hey, kids in the Bronx should have a good education.’
And they’d be, like, ‘Oh, she’s an activist.'”
Aside from being true to her core values, AOC continues to dress authentically, too.
To do so in style, Ocasio-Cortez typically ensures she’s wearing her trusty gold hoop earrings.
The hoops in question are from Stars Jewelry, which is located in the Bronx, naturally.
AOC typically pairs her gold hoops with a slick of red lipstick.
You don’t get much higher approval in the fashion world than that.
