All power to the people
Putting Chattanoga workers first
ABOUT ME
A life spent fighting for a better world
I have been a community activist since I was a young teenager. Begining as a volunteer at the Chattanooga Public Library. I then served as a member of the Chattanoga Mayors Youth Council for three years.
My entire world view changed in 2020 when I became involved in the Black Lives Matter uprising as a protest medic. I saw brutality toawards people using their 1st amendment rights that was so unacceptable that it led me to conclude that our system didnt just need small reforms but a fundemental transformation
