Tell us why you joined the board:
I had direct experience with the value, benefit, people and power of Solidaire as it supported early actions in the beginning of the Movement for Black Lives. I felt that I could bring what I was learning in supporting M4BL and the immigrant justice movement to Solidaire and also support Solidaire in continuing to grow and deepen its strategies and efforts.
What’s most important to you about being part of Solidaire?
The Solidaire vision for the redistribution of wealth, access and power. The Solidaire belief that everyone should have access to enough resources to live in our fullest dignity. The belief that this society fundamentally does not work for people and the planet and we need to transition to a just and equitable world for our own survival as human beings. A curious space that is always learning and growing. To be effective we need to always reflect and refine our work.
What does liberation mean to you?
Liberation means to be living in my biggest visions of a world that supports each human being to embody and actualize our fullest humanity, to embody joy, love. Liberation means a world in which all Black people in the Diaspora everywhere are thriving, joyful, valued and celebrated.
