What a day on the Westside!
We celebrated connection, community, and new possibilities at our Greenway Grand Opening at Martin Luther King Park in Enderly Park.  Enderly Park and Seversville is linked in a way that brings us closer together. 🌳🚶🏽‍♀️
This project isn’t just concrete and trail signs — it’s an investment in us. A reminder that when we build together, we rise together. 💪🏽✨
Afterward, I stopped by the Westside Fish Fry at the West Complex on W. Trade Street — nothing better than good food and even better people.
Thank you to the Greater Enderly Park Neighborhood Association for allowing me the honor to serve as your president. 🙏🏽
We are building community, living community, being in community block by block.

Fun fact: In 2019, I got together with a few friends to bring financial literacy to my daughter's (then) middle school. We had to wait until after the pandemic but we finally got it launched and students have continued the program.

I only participated in the full program in the first iteration and today I got the opportunity to speak to the kids and see all the tweaks and fun activities that have been crafted. Shawneke Wilson referred a very talented, smart kind brother named Al Riddick to us. If you are looking for materials I highly recommend Al! We use the book (Money $mart Teen$), workbook, and facilitator guide to teach the kids.
​
Danae Diller helped bring financial resources to the project.
Together we designed activities, recruited volunteers, and made magic happen.
I don't like to post all the things I do but today was extra special and I needed to share this with you.

Our schools reflect our values, our vision, and our willingness to fight for every child!
 
I’m running for the District 2 School Board seat because I believe in public education that works for the people, shaped by the people.
 
We need classrooms where educators are respected and supported, where students are seen and empowered, and families are invited to be partners in the work.
 
Policies must be rooted in justice, care, and community.
I want to end politics as usual.

From community halls to school hallways, my journey is rooted in love for our children, families, our educators, and our future.
 
It’s pointless to run for office just to run!  I’m honored to be running for The District 2 School Board and I’ll make a difference and do the work that matters.
 
This campaign is about us and our collective power, our shared hope, our belief that public education can and should serve every child with dignity and excellence.

If you believe that too, I ask for your support. 

Volunteer. Donate. Pray. Send good energy.
Let’s build the future our kids deserve. Together.

My campaign team is a great force
These folks help me with the work, plan late into the night, and root every step in love for our community.
They show up with heart, hustle, and purpose, and they believe in what’s possible when WE lead.
This campaign NOT about me. It’s about building real power. Yeah, and we keep showing up.
Let’s Go!
