Expand all | Collapse all

Growing up in Los Angeles, Danielle’s family faced social, racial, and economic injustices that shaped her upbringing. After spending 20 years working in the hospitality industry, Danielle sought economic and social mobility by starting her own small business. An entrepreneur and paralegal working at firms specializing in civil litigation, intellectual property, and family law, she partnered with a colleague to launch a firm offering low-cost legal assistance in communities of color.

In her six years as the Neighborhood Council Budget Advocate, she hosted workshops educating the public on the city’s budget and civic engagement and seeing firsthand how policy decisions at City Hall exacerbate inequity in our neighborhoods.

Danielle is a proud mother of three. Her oldest son is an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 11 member and a U.S. Army Sergeant. Her daughter attends a Historically Black College, and her youngest son attends an LAUSD public school.
  • Public Safety: Deescalating tactics and training is key to ensuring that if law enforcement is called to a scene, a response of de-escalation, rather escalation, is the outcome. Focusing on some of the plausible causality of crime such as unemployment, under employment, lack of hope, and economic prosperity will alleviate the heavy-handed solutions such as arrest and incarceration, which are temporary fixes to a deeper community issue. Hiring to the need instead of a number must be priority. Hiring to the need and placing officers in those respective areas is a more effective way to policing. Removing officers from office work, placing them in patrol vehicles will bring safety and security in our neighborhoods immediately.
  • Environment: I am not taking oil industry money to ensure it is clear to our community that my decisions that benefit the whole of the community and not just a few. We need to provide the community with facts on fracking, drilling, along with diesel polluting trucks that idle in our communities moving billions of dollars’ worth of goods. We need to invest in clean vehicle technology as well as preserve high paying jobs through the unionization of these green industries such as wind, solar, and alternative clean fuels that are human driven. I will have environmentalist part of my staff as well as regularly seek the advice from environmentalists not the oil industry to create policies that are driven by facts not corporate greed. ​
  • Homeless: I seek a comprehensive approach to the issue. We need to expand mental health and crisis support teams to provide treatment, resources, and wrap around services for homeless people who want and seek treatment. High paying jobs and employment through workforce development programs such as job development, career recruitment, and livable wages will aid in keeping people in their homes and apartments .I will work to create a program that apartment seekers can use to assist with security deposits, first month’s rent, along with any application fees.
I am passionate about the Budgetary aspect of governance. The city's budget is a reflection of its values and we must work towards ensuring taxpayers money are allocated in a robust and efficient manner, investing in basic city services, youth programs, work source centers and job placement. safer parks, clean streets, repairing our broken sidewalks and environmental policies that seek to create clean air and energy. We can have an equitable city that addresses the issues plaguing our great city but it begins and ends with the city's budget.
I believe that within the budget there must also be audits. Routine audits that hold agencies and non-profits accountable when receiving taxpayer funds will be a priority. We can no longer carry on business as usual and allow wasteful spending to continue.
Life experience is an underestimated quality needed to be an effective and empathetic leader. Being able to fully understand those one is seeking to represent is key to creating policies that are community based due to having lived the same or similar life experiences is important. I can relate to the community I seek to represent because I have lived many of their lives, I have been homeless, experience food insecurity, lost and loved one to gun violence. I possess a different perspective needed to create policies that address the needs and concerns of the community.
