“I’m heading to the White House, to speak at the second chance hiring and re-entry event. I’m so excited to announce some exciting things,” Kim said on the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Kim was introduced on stage by the president, from her seat between Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
“I’d like to invite up a very special guest, and a powerful advocate for not only justice reform but just a good person…and I hear she starting to study law…soon she will be one of the most successful lawyers, I hate to tell all my lawyers back there,” he said.

Kim said she was not able to refer to her notes and “winged it”.
“I had to slip the speech into my bag and just put my bag onto the floor and just pray for the best. I had to wing it,” she explained in a confessional.
The star wore her hair in a sleek shoulder-length bob and a dark grey suit as she told the guests that she had visited many prisons and her heart had opened up to wanting to make a difference.
“Really sitting down with lifers, my heart just completely opened up and I wanted to do more,” she said at the presidential podium.
