Expand all | Collapse all

Raised by a police officer and a federal agent, my parents instilled the importance of service in me from a young age. ​ As a school social worker, I saw the difference that one person can make in the lives of children and their families. I also saw first-hand that everyone needs safe communities with opportunities to learn, build businesses, and thrive.

To better advocate for families and neglected communities, I earned my PhD in Social Work from Morgan State. My professional expertise is the role of religion and spirituality in social work and in creating stronger, healthier communities. I now teach the next generation of social workers at Fayetteville State University.

From my life and my work, I know that everyone needs certain things to live a good life, including quality and affordable health care, safety, high-quality schools, clean water, and civil and reproductive rights.

  • Putting education first - the NC General Assembly has left our schools and students stuck in the Great Recession. It's time to change that.
  • Expanding Medicaid - at zero additional cost to North Carolinians, we can help 500,000 people access health care, create thousands of good jobs, and boost our economy
  • Fighting poverty - we need to tackle the school-to-prison pipeline, help people get jobs that work, protect access to clean water and air, and invest in the technologies that will power a 21st-century economy

We need to fight hunger and homelessness, particularly for our youngest residents. We must make sure that all children in Cumberland County have access to opportunities to achieve their God-given potential. It is urgent that we get clean water and local, clean energy supplies for our county. And I will fight every day for everyone's civil and reproductive rights.

I have always admired Shirley Chisholm, who knew the struggles of her community and fought for the things that would make it better, everything from better, more affordable childcare to voting rights to making post-high school training more accessible. Her work on helping children have enough to eat is legendary. Unbought and unbossed.

As a social worker, I know that listening, engaging, and then building from strengths are the only ways positive change happens. As I work in communities across Cumberland County, I see that too many have been left behind for too long.

To promote the general thriving of everyone in the district, to advocate for the district's communities, to protect the lives of the people of the district in discussions of state policies, and to always be listening to the district.

A county where every child has enough to eat, where every person is decently housed, where there are jobs that work for everyone who wants one, where we're making the investments in local, clean energy and infrastructure that will power our economy through the next century.

The NC House, with its smaller districts, is closer to the people. It's important to me to be engaged with the whole district, including east of the river, central Fayetteville, and downtown.

I believe it's beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience, but that experience takes many forms. As a school social worker, I saw firsthand the way policies impact children and families in their everyday lives. As a researcher, I study how churches and religious communities can shape and promote public health.

There's a saying in social work -- build from strengths. We have a legacy as a regional leader in education; we can recapture it. We're well-positioned to be a national leader in cheap, local, clean energy -- let's do it. We have buy-in from large sections of the state, including hospitals and other stakeholders, to expand Medicaid -- let's get it done.
