DEEP ROOTS
The Chapel Hill I know is progressive, welcoming, and proud of its history as a state leader in environmental protection, civil rights, and social justice. I decided to run to help chart a course for Chapel Hill that is forward-thinking while staying true to those roots. I have been engaged professionally and personally in strong leadership roles on the local level through the Town Public Housing Advisory Board, the Orange County Family Resource Centers, the Ephesus Elementary School Improvement Team, the Blue Ribbon Mentor Advocate Program, and PORCH. I have participated in advocacy and volunteer efforts on issues of importance on the local, state, and national levels such as voter registration and election protection, racial and ethnic equity, LGBTQ issues, Moral Mondays, and the Women’s March. I am also a member of the local branch of the NAACP.
