As a woman of color in Chicago, I move through the world with layered perspectives shaped by lived experience and the realities of inequality, empathy, and representation. In spaces where I haven’t been directly affected, I’ve learned to practice solidarity—listening, learning, and using my voice to uplift others.

Through these experiences, I’ve become deeply committed to advocating for social justice—working to build understanding, empower others, and create platforms for collective action. The projects below reflect that ongoing work and learning.
