Last week, I was honored with the Youth & Policy Advocacy Award for my gun violence prevention work.
To receive an award from @cjactionfund , where they have poured so much into me over the years and for the award to be named after my good friend in the movement @tretre_thegreat is such a blessing. Although times are uncertain, especially in the community violence intervention space, it’s moments like these that remind me to keep pushing. Thank you God, Community Justice, my amazing mentors @amberkgoodwin@theactionjackson@drchicotill , and everyone in the GVP space. I love yall!
It’s always been my belief that education is the foundation to setting up the next generation for success. And in a world where DEI, and Black history is being stripped from our schools and work places it’s such an honor to return back to my elementary school & read to the students about black history. Thank you to Northmoor Elementary School and all of the amazing teachers who have played a pivotal role in my life and countless others. ❤️📚
