Being part of a community makes me feel like that song with the lyrics ....

12/2/2020

 
"Sometimes you wanna go

You wanna be where you can see (ah-ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah-ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name"

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Bias, and Limiting Beliefs

11/18/2020

 
A few years ago I worked for a political campaign. At a team meeting about neighborhood canvassing, there was a discussion on what dates and locations to visit. One of the members told me that I cannot go to a few towns because my skin color would hurt the candidate in the polls. Also, my safety was a concern.

You never know when someone calls you for an interview  how the finish product will turn out.   I worked tirelessly to help change the conversation in my area by promoting civic engagement.  At no point was I looking to be a voice for the community, my goal was to be an avenue and lighthouse.  ​

So, I have been Karened

9/1/2020

 
Before the name 'Karen' became a social norm for a person who felt that their belief of entitlement trumped my personal boundaries and basic human decency and respect, I was used to it.   It never stopped me because I moved forward in life with the unwritten understanding that I have to be emotionally stronger, educated, focused,  healthy, and in sync with my morals and purpose.  ​

DId you see the Nike COvid-19 Video on Youtube!?

7/31/2020

 
Growing up the one thing I knew was that I am an athlete. Being an athlete made me feel like a person, a valued person despite the internal and external struggles of my life. School wasn't number one in my mind as a youth, that was just something I had to do so I could do a sport. I recognize what's going on in the world. But I also recognize what
