🙏🏾Praying for the family, loved ones and people inspired by Rev. Jessie Jackson’s life and legacy. I reflected on his words below, as I prayed and seek God for guidance in the significant work still before us.

“Wherever you are tonight you can make it. Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets dark sometimes, but the morning comes. Don’t you surrender... In the end faith will not disappoint. You must not surrender… We must never surrender. America will get better…

Keep hope alive. Keep hope alive. Keep hope alive. On tomorrow night and beyond, keep hope alive.” ~ Rev. Jessie Jackson

🙏🏾Lord, strengthen our hearts. Let Your power and peace rise more within us—greater than fear, greater than opposition, greater than weariness—with great victory. Increase our wisdom, our strategy to outwit the enemy, and our courage so we do not faint in the fight for justice, equity and truth to prevail. You are our confident hope—even when the weight feels too heavy or the road to justice too long. We will not surrender our hope or ridiculous faith in you. We will rise and remain on our post. Carry us forward with clarity of purpose in our life call and protection, as you do exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ask for or imagine.💪🏾

📢 New Role, Same Mission! 🚀

🌟I am excited to share that I have stepped into my next chapter as the Executive Director of the Holloman Center for Social Justice (CSJ) at the Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio ! This incredible opportunity allows me to continue the impressive work our outstanding team has led dismantling systemic barriers and advancing racial and social justice for communities across the region.

🤗Cincinnati holds deep meaning for me—it’s my birthplace and where my journey in advocacy and community building began. It’s also where my mother needs me right now, with an awesome village of support, as we navigate her season of healing. Though my role has changed, my commitment to justice and equity remains steadfast. The challenges we face—whether in the City of ,the or beyond—are interconnected, and our movements must be as well.

💜As I share this news, I reflect on my service in Oakland and the honor of being part of history as the first father and daughter councilmembers elected to serve our city—with my father being the second longest serving member in Oakland’s 170+ year history. We’re blessed by over forty years nurtured and grown greatly by family, friends, and life-long connections in Oakland’s rich soil. Thank you! We pray the work and seeds of love we’ve sown and watered throughout the Town, in District 7, and across the Bay Area are rooted deeply to enrich many others for generations to come.

🥰It has been an amazing, life-changing journey. I am proud to share my 2021-2024 District 7 Impact Report attached, highlighting some of the transformational work we accomplished together and the work still ahead to move East Oakland Forward.

We authored and sponsored over 100 legislative measures, secured significant funding for critical initiatives, and created Oakland’s first citywide policy framework for equitable service delivery/response in each department. From day one to the very last day, we did this together and finished strong, prioritizing the people who entrusted us with this incredible opportunity!
