“Survivor 44” contestant Claire Rafson describes herself as a “queer Black Jewish girl” that is “by default always the odd one out.” The 25-year old venture capitalist from Brooklyn plans to use the lessons her differences have taught her as a social advantage in the game. Watch their full CBS interview below.

Despite seeing her identity as something that puts her on the outside looking in, Claire thinks that if she plays a social and strategic game that she “fit in and get what [she] wants.” In that way, she thinks that she will be taking the lessons she’s learned throughout her life in order to apply them to the game. She adds, “I feel like everything I set my mind to I can accomplish, and ‘Survivor’ is no different.”
