Weโ€™re watching capitalism crumble right before our eyes and yet, those in power keep clinging to the same failed, capitalistic ideologies.

Iโ€™ve been elected Vice Chair of the Democratic Party of Oregon Black Caucus.

As a born-and-raised Black Portlander, Iโ€™m excited to work with Chair Miles Pendleton and community leaders to uplift the needs of Black Oregonians.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that justice has never come swiftly for Black people. While the chains were removed, the systems of control were not.

We honor Juneteenth by fighting forward.

Portland to pay $8.5M settlement to descendants of displaced Black families On Thursday, Portland City Council approved a settlement for more than 20 people whose homes and businesses were destroyed in the name of urban renewal from the 1950s through the โ€™70s.

This marks a long-overdue step toward justice and recognition of the pain and loss theyโ€™ve endured that had expanded generations.

Portlanders have long lived with the consequences of racist displacement policies. As a Black Portlander, Iโ€™ve heard about these harms throughout my life. Iโ€™m deeply heartened to see the families from the Albina/Emanuel Hospital neighborhood finally receive their settlement.

ICYMI - here's the big announcement on PSR we are reacting to. There have been a number of major policy changes, and we break them all down.

2 years ago from tonight I got hit by a drunk driver going the wrong way on the freeway.

Recovery isnโ€™t a destination; itโ€™s an ongoing process, one that demands patience, strength, and an unshakable will to keep moving forward.

City of Portland processes Land Use Compatibility Statement for Zenith Energy The State requires the LUCS in order to approve Zenith's Air Permit.

This was non-transparent, even to Councilors - I found out through this press release.

This is not good governance.

Portlanders deserve open processes. You did not receive one on the LUCS. An open process doesn't mean any specific outcome, but it would have been more transparent.

I have tremendous respect for my colleague who consistently stands up for our most vulnerable community members, showing us all what leadership looks like. Iโ€™m proud to serve with her.

The very foundation of this country is built on stolen land and forced displacement, yet those in power weaponize legality to oppress others.

The hypocrisy is glaring, and it's past time we challenge these narratives head-on.

It's wild to think that colonizers who stole land have the audacity to call immigrants "illegal" while refusing to acknowledge themselves as criminals or illegals.

Iโ€™m excited to help bring her vision to lifeโ€”not just for District 3, but for the entire city. Together, weโ€™ll work to create a Portland where equity, transparency, opportunity, and progress are at the forefront. Itโ€™s a privilege to join her team and support the transformative work ahead.
