2. And You Say Chi-City...
Chicago native, born and raised .
3. Jill of All Trades...
I have a LOT of hobbies, but a few are my
favorites. Singing, writing, acting and
dancing can get me thru any day!
4. In My Community...
I have been an active volunteer at my church
for over 10 years. From organizing Back-to-
School drives to feeding the less fortunate, I
aim to give back to the community around
me.
5. What’s the Issue??
Gentrification is a huge
civic issue in my
community; in the black
community specifically.
More and more of our
neighborhoods are being
torn down, pushing black
families out in the name of
a better Chicago.
6. Why I.C. Stars?
From the start of my application process, I
understood that this program was an agent
for creating opportunities; I just had to be a
part of it. Opportunities are about exposure.
Thru I.C. Stars, I know I will be able to
create new paths for those who don’t have as
much exposure as I do.
