I was honored to speak with students of the Camden Political Action Crew about justice, leadership, & the power of our voices.

We need policies and programs that meet people where they are, not where the system says they should be.

That means creating pathways to homeownership that don’t punish families for circumstances outside their control, offering tools, counseling, & fair financing that opens the door, not closes it.
The truth is: credit scores are often shaped by systemic barriers redlining, predatory lending, medical debt, and economic injustice not by someone’s character or potential as a homeowner.

Ward 4 families told over & over that their credit score defines whether they deserve a chance to buy a home.
Homeownership is a cornerstone of stability and wealth but for too many in our community, it feels out of reach.

Because everyone in our community deserves the opportunity to put down roots, build equity, and create generational stability no matter what their credit score is.

His testimony isn’t just about me, it’s about the fight for justice so many families in North Minneapolis are carrying every day.

I’m running for City Council in Ward 4 because leadership should reflect that same resilience, that same truth, and that same commitment to fighting for what’s right.
When my brother Marvin was exonerated after 20 years of wrongful incarceration, he spoke these words:

“If it wasn’t for my sister and the Innocence Project, I wouldn’t be here. My sister lost so much trying to fight to prove my innocence. Words cannot describe what she means to me and my family.”
