FROM FULTON’S GRASSROOTS
TO DISTRICT 5 LEADERSHIP
I am not just running for the people — I am the people. A student shaped by the Atlanta University Center, a working mother who turned challenges into purpose, and an entrepreneur rooted in Fulton’s grassroots, my journey reflects the lived experiences of families across District 5. I have worked alongside commissioners and civic leaders, gaining firsthand insight into how local decisions impact our neighborhoods, schools, and small businesses. I understand not only how government works, but how it should work for you.
Service has always guided my leadership. As Miss Black Metro Atlanta and Miss Black Georgia USA, I used my platform to champion empowerment, representation, and real community impact. Today, I bring those experiences together with integrity, transparency, and action so that every family, every senior, and every young person in District 5 can see themselves in Fulton’s future.

Support The Campaign
As a working mother, entrepreneur, and neighbor, I understand the challenges facing District 5 because I’ve lived them. My commitment is to be a true voice for the people making sure county government reflects the community it serves. I will champion small businesses and entrepreneurs by opening access to county contracts, resources, and growth opportunities. I’ll also fight for seniors to age with dignity, families to feel supported, and youth to have safe spaces and strong programs. By putting people first and building partnerships across Fulton, we can create progress that uplifts every generation and belongs to all of us.
