Tomi moved from L.A. to Nashville to escape the derangement and high taxes of California, and to avoid potential lockdowns during the early days of the pandemic.
Tomi's first job in media was at One America News Network in San Diego when she was 21 years old.
Tomi became involved in rap when her voice was illegally sampled by Pusha T and Jay-Z in their song 'Drug Dealer's Anonymous.'
Tomi believes the controversy around the song is silly and that people are too quick to feign outrage. She also notes that the song's themes have come true repeatedly.
Tomi feels better about 2024 because Republicans have learned to play the game better, including early voting and mail-in voting, which were strategies not fully utilized in 2016.
Tomi finds Mark Cuban's criticism of Trump baffling, attributing it to an ego-driven rivalry and Cuban's apparent dislike for Elon Musk, who aligned with Trump.
Tomi's husband is away for the baseball season, February through September, with limited home visits. This creates a challenge when he returns, as she has to readjust to his presence and habits.
Tomi hopes for a decisive result on election night but anticipates it might run into Wednesday due to close states. She is hopeful but not overly confident, given the potential for legal challenges and late-arriving mail-in ballots.
Tomi believes economic issues, particularly inflation, will heavily influence voter turnout, especially in swing states where people have felt the pinch of high costs.
Tomi prefers the rap music of her high school days, which she describes as less explicit and more enjoyable. She finds contemporary rap too vulgar.
