Get to Know Me

I cast my first ballot in 2022.

I was born in Trinidad and Tobago and raised in South Jamaica, Queens. By the time I cast my first ballot, I was a mother, and I was already running a statewide democracy organization. I spent years making sure other people's votes counted before I ever cast one myself.

I am the CEO of ProGeorgia, a nonpartisan statewide democracy organization. Since 2017 I have grown it from a $1.7 million operation to a peak budget of $22 million, the largest in its history, and directed and influenced more than $38 million across the state. I built a coalition of 61 organizations reaching all 159 Georgia counties, and together we registered more than 250,000 new voters. I founded the Women of Color Initiative and Our Turn to put working class Black women at the center of decisions that have always been made about them, not with them.

My work reaches well beyond Georgia. I serve on the board of the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation and have served on the national boards of State Voices and the State Innovation Exchange, helping shape how movement and philanthropy invest in the South.

I do not just advocate for change. I build it. And I can explain how it works, on deadline, on air.
