Locations:

Our work is rooted in the empowerment of marginalized communities, where we believe that "those closest to the problem are closest to the solution, but furthest away from resources and power" (Glenn Martin). It's our goal to amplify those voices and create opportunities to gain resources and access to power for the most marginalized communities. We directly challenge the system that has made decisions on our behalf for a millennium. No more. We can speak for ourselves. NO DECISIONS ABOUT US WITHOUT US is our mantra. It is an honor for me to serve as an advocate for social justice where we get to impact lives where it matters the most. This is our life's work and is part of a collective journey to right the wrongs perpetrated against people of color. We fight for justice. We fight for truth. We fight for freedom. We fight for all those people who have been silenced by racism and injustice. We do NOT accept a "half a cup of freedom". We fight for a full cup of freedom 100% liberation. We want our people to enjoy the full rights and priviliges of freedom, and we won't stop until everyone ejoys equal liberation and empowerment!
