Pace for District 6

In the words of one of my classmates…”a great light has gone out” 🙏🏾

As a kid in the 80s…to watch a Black man run for President twice, inspire people, and change the face of politics…was life-changing for me! It was one of the many reasons I aspired at a young age to someday serve in public office. My dream was fulfilled a year ago when I was appointed to serve on the Atlanta Board of Education. 🙌🏾 🤗Even more so, my dream was fulfilled when I had a chance to meet Rev. Jesse Jackson in 2018, when I was doing work at THE Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta! It was the honor of a lifetime to not only meet him, but to watch him inspire a whole new generation of students…wow, what a legacy and what a gift! 🙏🏾

Here’s to running your life race well and to having fought the good fight…you walked and marched, so we could run…rest well God’s servant ✊🏾

Honored to receive the endorsement of State Representative . His leadership, his heart for Atlanta families, and his commitment to building stronger, more connected communities set the bar high.

The holidays can be a tender time for so many families, and showing up for our community matters now more than ever. I had the honor of serving meals and sharing space with neighbors who remind me why this work is bigger than policies or board meetings — it’s about people.

Service isn’t just what we do during the season…it’s who we choose to be all year long. Grateful for every hand that volunteered, every smile exchanged, and every moment of connection.

Wishing peace, warmth, and community for everyone during this holiday season.

I’m deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the Hollis family — a name that carries weight, legacy, and decades of leadership in Atlanta.

Michael Hollis wasn’t just a community icon to me; he was family. He and my mother grew up next door to each other on West End Avenue, both proud APS graduates of Washington High School. And for me, he became a mentor — the kind of mentor who guides you like an uncle would.

Michael poured wisdom into me that shaped the man I am today. He exposed me to the business world early — from etiquette to economics, from how to carry myself in a room to how to understand the forces that shape our city. He taught me Atlanta’s history, not from a textbook, but from lived experience… stories of leaders he advised, from Maynard Jackson to President Jimmy Carter. He made sure I knew where I came from, so I’d always know where I’m going.

To have the support of the Hollis family is something I don’t take lightly. Their belief in me is rooted in legacy, community, and a shared commitment to Atlanta’s future.

Thank you to the Hollis family for standing with me. Let’s keep the P.A.C.E. and continue our work to uplift and empower every student and family across this city.
