2. I’ve written crucial internal and external communications for USDA’s / USDA
Small Farms Coordination programs from 2000-04 for a variety of programs,
policies, and regulations that included: written/oral presentations, talking points,
speeches, editorial short/featured stories, web content, and more; conducting
oral interviews to media outlets and state and local governments throughout the
country and interviewing farmers on tax and land loss related domestics issues. I
have improved the methodology/communications among underserved and
socially disadvantage communities along with making recommendations and
providing solutions/outcome that have impacted the Agriculture industry
nationally and internationally in the 21 Century. I enforced this with media
campaigns, outreach, marketing, and public hearings. A major component
regarding my responsibilities was to develop a campaign for outreach among the
poultry industry with small farmers and conservationist in and around these
areas with regards to disability programs. The campaign consisted of media,
PowerPoint presentations, advisories, press releases, and numerous town hall
meetings across the southern, Midwest, and Northeast region that allowed
producers and farmers to discuss their views and complaints as apart of the
regulatory change and polices. I provided additional media interviews with Radio
Farm Directors, national and state level Deputy Directors, organizational leaders
and executives from various talk radio shows in that region and across the
country during this campaign. As a part of the Advisory committee I target 15
states in an effort to demonstrate how the 2002 Farm Bill passed by Congress
would affect poultry growers across the country and farmers in general. In
addition to working with legislative office across party lines we pass the Farm Bill
that highlighted issues that hamper minority farmers to be successful. During
this campaign 20 agencies and community base organizations were able to
develop intercommunications protocols between them government and
2. Congressional leaders across the country which I enforced with success. In
addition to providing press and media expertise for National Agriculture Farmers
and Ranchers (Oklahoma City) program and developmental programs from
2005-2009 which include featured articles for Women Rights and Business
development

Government agencies, HBCU’s, 1890’s. 1860’s, to effectively outreach to socially
disadvantage farmers and ranchers with youth initiatives (education health
programs), land loss prevention assistance, international internet security
certification for Agricultural development exposure to Holiday In Resorts in
Africa (USDA, Foreign Agriculture Service/OIC USAID); conservation planning
(USDA, Natural Resources and Conservation Service, NRCS); trade show events
coordination/development, community development and infrastructure, (Rural
Development, RD); marketing and accounting assistance, creating equitable
access to funding to help improve access from other governmental entities:
private sector, corporations etc…), to improve their business land labor force
(DOL) and provide a outlet to farmers and ranchers to get products or services
effectively to market by using neighboring community resources and
international intervention. The objectives of these projects is to increase
opportunities for socially disadvantage farmers and ranchers by establishing
alternative labor business enterprise and changing the way farmers and ranchers
due business in the Agriculture industry domestically and internationally. This
was accomplished by Congressional support with training: Environmental Justice
(Water Science for schools, Healthy Family projects, etc.), Agric-health, technical
assistance, easy access to loans and grants initiatives, mentoring, accountability,
civil rights initiatives (planning) which will lead to the enhancement of
community leaders and CBO’s network nationwide. From 2000-2007 I have been
successful in initiating these programs and securing youth, families, and
communities across the domestic and international countries with Congressional
