I grew up in a family and community that didn’t leave anyone behind. You showed up for each other, spoke your mind, and made sure people around you were seen and heard. That’s how I learned that real strength isn’t about standing alone, it's about standing with others.

That’s why I care about building communities that are connected and united. I see how much more people can accomplish when knowledge, support, and trust are shared. Whether it’s school, voting, or everyday decisions, I know things work better when everyone understands what’s happening and feels included.

I’m not about being the loudest voice. I contribute by asking the hard questions, cutting through confusion, and making sure conversations actually matter. When people understand, they step up. When they step up, they lift others too. That’s how unity grows through clarity, trust, and shared purpose.

Community isn’t just where I come from. It’s how I move through the world. My voice is stronger when it carries the voices around me, and that’s the power I try to bring everywhere I go.
