Fun Fact
I like home mprovement projects and time out enjoying my family and friends with arts and crafts and enjoying outdoor sport games in the community.
Past Experience
I am a current Neighborhood President with 14 years of experience working with the mayors and city council to address issues and concerns of the residents upholding city ordinances and fishing against high crime. I as PTA president for six years and CEO of Neighborhood Advocates for Justice six years support for the community in Jefferson County and State Of Alabama citizens. I am an Advocate for the People.
My Top Issues
Invest in crime prevention
Birmingham has the highest crime rate and we must bring communication to the Citizens to help prevent crime before it happens. The status quote is black on black crime rates the highest.
Encouraging redevelopment of vacant properties
I am surrounded by over 150 vacant properties due to massive fires from years ago ND the properties are now overgrown and eye sore. A housing development is a must with no other option for District Eight.
Investing in park maintenance and improvement
I am blesses to have historical parks and recreation center that serve our youth on a daily basis but they are deteriorating due to leadership not investing back in the community facilities by not funding what needs to be fixed. These places are safe haven for the children and I am advocating for change.
