I am a long-time community organizer and public servant at heart and I am running to disrupt politics as usual. I am running to unapologetically advocate and advance racial, gender and economic justice.

I am running to disrupt politics as usual by being who I am, by asserting my candidacy into a political landscape that would rather me be silent and by bringing a fresh voice and bold vision to Harrisburg.

I am running because the fight to defend Reproductive Justice, Roe v. Wade and abortion access is in Harrisburg, the fight to protect our most unprotected communities including our youth, LGBTQ+ and elderly is in Harrisburg and the fight of our generation to protect our environment for all people is in Harrisburg!

Electoral Justice
Book: Undivided Rights: Women of Color Organize for Reproductive Justice written by Loretta J. Ross, Elena Gutiérrez, Marlene Gerber Fried, and Joel Silliman

Film: Shirley Chisholm ‘72: Unbought and Unbossed directed by Shola Lync

I am a skilled leader, passionate orator, and I have a proven track record of passing bills at the state, local, and federal level through my work in the field of reproductive justice.
The first historical event I remember was watching the Clarence Thomas hearings and the allegations of sexual harassment brought by Anita Hill in 1991 - I was 10 years old watching it at home because I had strep throat.
My first job was the summer before my senior year of high school. I worked as a cashier at Kentucky Fried Chicken and I had this job for about a year.
The Color Purple by Alice Walker is my favorite book because it is an American classic of a Black woman, Black family, and Black community existing in a segregated Jim Crow South that highlights the intersectional impact of racism, sexism, and socioeconomic control. It is a story of survival and triumph. The Color Purple has remedies for life even in the present day.
Amazing by Mary J. Blige featuring DJ Khaled
It's beneficial to build relationships with other legislators in order to further collaboration between electeds in order to maximize the positive impacts for our constituents.

I deeply admire the work that Stacey Abrams did during her time in the Georgia State Legislature and am thankful for her continued commitment to fighting for voting rights. I want to emulate her commitment to the movement while also fighting for real, practical change.
