Why she joined the ALC: I love that OppNet students/alum are advocating for their space to be theirs and I am excited to have the opportunity to support it!

How she's managing to navigate this virtual reality: I am investing time, energy, and experiences in me and my community. I am spending time with family ad watching my nephews and nieces (ages 0-3 years) grow up in their formative years, watching them take their first steps to teaching them to identify problems and solutions. I am using this time and space to reflect on my family life experiences in the last 3 generations and working on short stories and poetry. I have started biking safely around DC looking for new nooks to explore, including gardens and art murals. And now I am excited to be a member of the ALC!
