Three things that changed my life
My high school teachers at Alief Elsik, attending an HBCU and witnessing the impact of Hurricane Katrina first hand
What keeps me up at night
The private sector and government came together to go the moon, to build AI, and to create other technological and life saving breakthroughs. But these same systems struggle to ensure Black and Brown kids have the resources they need to thrive in our educational, economic, judicial, and social systems.
My superpower
I know how to fully see and hear people; not sure if it is a superpower, but it is definitely a gift.
Describe your life in five words.
Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Space
The best way to end a long day
I make two short lists: What do I want to keep from this day and what do I want to let go of?
