We Shall Overcome, In My Heart I Do Believe

I have a genetic and chronic illness called Cystic Fibrosis, and thus am very effected by the air pollution in Birmingham. I have always been taught not to let it define me. In ninth grade my dad became an alcoholic and drug addict. When I was 15 my dad passed, I began to dedicate myself to community service. As I learned about the system, I moved from regular volunteering to community organizing. Learning old school organizing. My passion is organizing a green democratic solidarity economy.
