I believe housing is the foundation for health, safety and opportunity. From our country’s founding, BIPOC have been shut out of fair housing opportunities at every level. As the issue moves to the forefront, I want to be part of the ongoing solution that ends this historical legacy.

I want to collaborate with:

I would like to collaborate with organizers and advocates on the frontlines of the communities most in need. As someone who grew up as member of the population I now aim to serve, I believe it is important to stay as connected as possible to my past in order to genuinely improve the future of others.
