In the past 11 years, I have built a strong network of non-profit partners in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Here's what I believe:
I believe the fight for racial justice and human rights is a lifelong commitment we must make if we want to see lasting and meaningful change. This fight is hard, necessary, and must be well funded. We should also try to have some fun along the way.
I believe we must challenge all forms of racism and inequity in order to create a more just society.
I believe in creating and sustaining diverse communities.
I believe in celebratory ice cream.
I believe in good food, good wine, and good music.
I believe keeping family, friends and pets close are good for our health.
