The speaker, drawing from personal experience across the country, highlights a deep understanding of communities that have been overlooked and underserved by the system. They’ve actively supported neighbors, mentored youth, and connected with those rebuilding their lives. Frustrated by being unheard and unrepresented, they are running for Fayetteville City Council in District 7 to shift focus from control to community. Their campaign centers on people over politics, aiming to prioritize funding for essential community resources, support reentry programs, reduce violence, and invest in youth empowerment. This grassroots campaign is about giving voice and platform to those who’ve long been ignored—because, as they state, "Everybody Deserves A Seat At The Table."
