Countdown to Election Day! August 26, 2025
WHO I AM
As a vessel called to advocate for those who often feel voiceless, overlooked, or excluded. I believe that every academic setting should be transformational—not just transactional.
I know firsthand how circumstances does not define potential; though statistics paints one picture, opportunity tells a different story. I was blessed to receive both academic and athletic scholarships to Miles College—an opportunity that changed the course of my life. I believe every student deserves that same transformative chance to thrive.
My advocacy in education spans nearly two decades, and through my current service on the Birmingham City School Board, I have gained greater clarity, wisdom, and strength. The experience has deepened my understanding of what it truly takes to govern with purpose, lead with transparency, and push for equity-centered solutions. While I have not yet served a full term, I stand today even more grounded and more prepared. The urgency is real—and so is my commitment.
NOW – No Opportunity Wasted isn’t just a mantra. It’s the driving force behind my continued pursuit to serve as your #ChangeAgent4District2. I have witnessed both the challenges and the possibilities within our district. I know the families we serve—their resilience, their brilliance, and their hopes.
I am seeking to continue this work not just because I care, but because I’ve grown even more confident in my ability to advocate, to lead, and to deliver on the promise of a quality education.
I am the candidate who is concerned, connected, and committed—because this work is personal, and our children’s futures matter.

Of all my years of advocacy and community building, one of the greatest takeaways is too often things are done in the community, for the community BUT NOT WITH the community. I chose to have a pyramid approach of Parents, Policy and Partnerships.
PARENTS
Parents are the primary stakeholders in the community. I will work daily to intentionally engage and increase Parental involvement with each respective school and District level.
POLICY
It is through Policy that we can resurrect and implement the success of our schools. It has been and will continue to be my daily intent to press the needle and raise awareness with our current School Leaders on opportunities and laws that exist to support their innovative interest in graduating scholars’ college/career ready. Through Policy, our ultimate goal should be that graduates secure a strong foundation in k-8, to be fully prepared, and able to participate in the practice of education and economic freedom upon graduating from k-12.
PARTNERSHIPS
Partnerships exist for the purpose of agreement to cooperate and advance mutual interests. Our mutual interest should always be that of the students in Birmingham City Schools and their success. I pledge to increase partnerships for families and students served in BCS. Partnerships can and should foster first hand exposure to our students that strike a chord of possibility and promise. I strongly feel that daily student interactions should be transformational and not transactional alone.
“Each day in school for students should be like a theme park experience whereby EVERY classroom cultivates the excitement of learning”
