I began my career as an organizer on open space and environmental issues. My current work includes working in communities to unlock solutions as Director of Programs and Organizing with Leadership for Educational Equity and as Principal of Eester Farm. Previously I served as Executive Director of the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center (at the site of Malcom X’s assassination) and developed public policy on the municipal level in New York City and Newark, NJ. As a volunteer I worked to launch Hetrick-Martin Institute, New Jersey establishing a statewide after-school program for LGBTQ youth, served as a researcher for the Black Census Project which surveyed over 30,000 African Americans to inform policy leading to this year's election cycle.
