After high school, I earned a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, from Tufts University majoring in urban affairs, and a Master of Regional Planning from Cornell University with concentrations in city development planning, and environmental planning and design. I also studied at Colgate-Rochester Divinity School in the Master of Arts program.
Whether in NY, NC and AL, I have focused on urban and rural life. My employment has included: housing director for an inner-city neighborhood, assistant project manager for an office of environmental impact, grant writer for a pro bono law firm on Black land loss, conservation council coordinator, director of a forestry program for Black landowners, and manager of government relations for a mentoring program.
In 2012, I was elected to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, re-elected in 2016, and in 2020. During my tenure,I have supported community members in closing a landfill, paving an access road, building affordable housing, improving school facilities, and preserving farms and agriculture. Currently, I am in my second year as Chair.
- The Right to Vote and the Right to Representation. Our foremothers and forefathers fought, bled, and died in the valiant effort to claim the right to vote for themselves and for us. In no way can we let their efforts be in vain. As the District 50 Representative in the NC House, I will rise up, speak out, and, as the late John Lewis said, “get in good trouble” to protect and assure our right to the ballot and our right for representation.
- A Sound Basic Education from Pre-K to Community College. I believe our state legislature has a responsibility to help fulfill the promise of a sound, basic education by investing in our students, school facilities, early childhood education, public school teachers and staff, and community colleges.
- Infrastructure for a Robust Economy--broadband, workforce housing, and transportation I will seek to open doors so that the people of Orange and Caswell Counties have access to career- oriented jobs, opportunities for rural economic development, and inclusion in the economic wealth of this state.
Healthcare for all, including mental, physical and behavioral health.
Human rights, Civil rights and Women's rights, including a woman's right to choose..
Climate change mitigation and Environmental justice.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
