I am a daughter, sister, mother, community leader, poet, advocate, advisor and inspire-er extraordinaire.
I believe in speaking truths and amplifying diverse voices. I am passionate about social justice and the intersectionality of our lived experiences.
You may know of me from my political career as the second African-American woman in the Vermont Legislature in state history. Or you might have seen me on a TED Talk stage. Heard one of my poems somewhere. You may have seen me on TV. Or in the press. Or on social media. But something brought you here.
I ask tough questions. I seek accountability. My intent is to press critical thinking and build our collective spiritual and ethical muscles to create meaningful, honest experiences and real change in the communities we touch. Whether it is a workplace, campus community or constituency, we need more people who know how to use their voice and genius to elevate social equity in every aspect of their lives. So let's do this.
