What do you do?

Senior Facilitator/Consultant

But what do you really do?

It is my responsibility to raise consciousness, build skills, and develop strategies to socialize and operationalize equity efforts throughout organizations.

And what’s your story? As in, what makes you tick?

I’m from the Historic Westside of Las Vegas. While the history of that neighborhood is rich and emphasizes on the themes of Black excellence, community, and liberation, the history is also filled with attempted erasure, anti-Blackness, and resilience and resistance from violence. In light of what I’ve seen and have experienced, it is my responsibility to continue creating access and opportunity for the Black people that are alongside me, the Black people who have come after me, and the Black people who have yet to exist, all while protecting our Black elders, and honoring our Black ancestors.

What’s rewarding about working at the Center?

I believe in the transformative nature of healing, empowering, and liberating others to advocate and fight for what they believe in, as it contributes to a sense of belonging, community care, and holistic wellness. Working at the Center helps me turn my beliefs into actual realities.
