My Impact

Turning Advocacy Into Real Change

I’m running for Congress because I’ve spent my career doing the work—organizing communities, shaping policy, and delivering results for working families. Long before I ever considered public office, I was on the ground building power and pushing systems to work for people, not corporations.

Building People-Powered Movements

Co-Coordinator, First Women’s March – Savannah (2015)
Co-organized Savannah’s first Women’s March, mobilizing local residents around women’s rights, racial justice, and civic engagement and helping establish a new era of grassroots organizing in Coastal Georgia

Economic Justice & Worker Power

9to5 Georgia — Advancing Economic Security for Women & Families

At 9to5 Georgia, I helped lead long-term economic reform efforts that benefit low-wage workers—especially women and families of color.

    • Delivered statewide momentum for a Georgia Work Credit (State EITC) by leading bipartisan coalition-building efforts benefiting nearly 1.1 million working families

    • Expanded public support for economic justice policies by organizing and hosting town halls in Atlanta, Albany, and Savannah, engaging 150+ participants

    • Advanced legislative pressure at the Capitol by directing a grassroots lobby day and leading direct engagement with bill sponsors

    • Expanded workforce opportunity for low-wage women by co-leading the launch of training programs through an Atlanta Women’s Foundation grant

    • Increased civic participation statewide by leading voter registration efforts that registered 6,000+ voters across Georgia (2018–2019)

    • Strengthened long-term movement infrastructure by forging strategic partnerships with Black Voters Matter, LGBTQ organizations, and budget advocates

Policy Wins Through Research & Strategy

Georgia Budget & Policy Institute (GBPI) — Statewide Policy Leadership

I led statewide campaigns addressing poverty, affordability, healthcare access, and education funding—turning complex budgets into people-centered solutions.

    • Expanded healthcare access for new mothers by helping drive the campaign to extend postpartum Medicaid coverage

    • Protected and strengthened public education funding by helping drive the effort to secure full funding of Quality Basic Education (QBE) for a second consecutive year

    • Preserved critical state revenue by helping block deeper income tax cuts that would have reduced funding for schools, healthcare, and essential services

    • Informed statewide budget decisions during COVID-19 by leading the elevation of analyses revealing a $950 million school funding shortfall

    • Built durable, people-powered coalitions by building and leading cross-sector partnerships through the People-Powered Prosperity initiative

Recognition & Honors

Why This Matters for Georgia’s 1st District

I do not just talk about affordability, healthcare, education, or democracy. I have delivered results in each of these areas. I understand how policy is made, how power is built, and how to fight for communities that are too often left behind. This work is not abstract to me. It is rooted in Georgia, shaped in Savannah, and driven by the lived realities of families across Southeast Georgia.

This is the leadership I will bring to Congress, proven, prepared, and people first.
