The Inner Circle Dinner is always a great night, full of laughs at the shenanigans of NY's elected officials in a room full of people who keep the city moving.
Excited to be back celebrating NY's fearless press corps with good jokes and great company!

Honored to join Amplify Her Foundation at the Nasdaq Opening Bell ceremony, celebrating their work empowering women & girls across NYC to lead social change.
Proud to have supported them for over a decade and co-designed their new incubator pilot. Investing in women’s leadership matters! #Advocacy
Crossed Edmund Pettus Bridge during Selma Jubilee for the first time since 2019, when I walked it alongside Congressman John Lewis, my former Capitol Hill boss.
For my first walk without him, I wore the “Good Trouble” shirt from our last staff reunion.
May the torch he passed to us light our way.
Honored to speak at CUNY Women’s Conference Week on Navigating Complexity: How Women Lead Advocacy in Uncertain Times.
Looking forward to a powerful conversation about leadership, advocacy, and the strategies women use to lead social change.

Honored to be recognized as the 2026 Member of the Year by the Association of Black Lobbyists and Consultants!
Grateful to be part of an organization committed to service, leadership, and community impact. The roles we carry reflect where we come from and who we represent.
Proud of these women who attended a candidate training co-hosted by @eleanorslegacyny.bsky.social + @vrlaction.bsky.social!
As a national trainer for VRLA & panelist, I shared my analysis on building political infrastructure to sustain Democratic wins in 2026 & supporting women running for office.
I joined PBS’s To the Contrary as a panelist to examine how weight-loss drugs and AI-generated media are reshaping culture and credibility, raising key questions about regulation, influence, and accountability.

Grateful for the invitation to attend Governor Hochul’s State of the State address, outlining New York’s priorities for the year ahead.
Looking forward to continued collaboration with government partners and advocates to advance these priorities statewide!

I joined To the Contrary to discuss how gender bias shapes visibility and leadership, from women adopting more masculine profiles on LinkedIn, to the debate over a female UN Secretary-General.
Thankful for the opportunity to be part of this timely conversation.

Grateful for the invitation to attend Governor Hochul’s announcement of the 2-Care child care initiative.
Expanding access to free child care is economic justice, and I look forward to partnering with elected officials and community leaders to support working families!

Honored for the invitation to attend Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral inauguration. Being present for this historic event reflected the impact of collective effort.
Grateful to be part of a defining moment in New York City history.

Grateful to be named a Responsible 100 honoree by @cityandstateny.bsky.social
To me, social responsibility means using power & position to close the gap between intention & impact.
Thank you to everyone I work with to build a better New York.

Graduation day with justice-impacted participants of POWER, a pilot program of College & Community Fellowship, where I served as workshop developer and facilitator, leading a series of trainings on advocacy and organizing.
Honored to celebrate their leadership! #Advocacy
In @citylimitsnews.bsky.social , I examine what comes after New York’s 2025 election mandate.
Without sustained civic infrastructure, even historic mandates struggle to become durable policy change.

Celebrating 10 years of @powherny.bsky.social, a statewide coalition advancing economic justice for women.
Honored to partner with incredible advocates in our shared fight for #GenderEquity and grateful to Beverly Neufeld for her vision in building this powerful movement!
Honored to be named a 2025 Nonprofit Power Player by PoliticsNY and AM New York for my impact through issue campaigns and grassroots advocacy.
Grateful for the community-driven work and to the advocates, organizers, and electeds I build with every day!

Exactly. The opportunity now is strategically pivoting from a siloed regional lens approach to a shared statewide governing project. When upstate, NYC, (and even Long Island) see a collective win, we move from episodic wins to building durable statewide power.
The real test isn’t ideology, it’s whether progressive, socialist, and Democratic establishment actors across the state can see their wins as tied together enough to build shared statewide campaigns. Holding regional differences while fighting for material wins is the real challenge and how we win.
I’d reframe this moment not as WFP vs DSA or old guard vs new, but as the challenge of stitching together a statewide governing bloc across political traditions. From my statewide coalition work, NYC can’t carry a governing agenda alone.
Honored to co-create and announce the Amplify Her Foundation Incubator Pilot at the 2025 GlassBreaker Awards!
This 6-month program helps women turn bold, community-rooted ideas into action through mentorship and structured learning.

Yes, Menin’s potential speakership adds a historical identity lens, and also raises how someone seen as a pragmatic moderate could shift the political and ideological dynamics inside a very progressive council, potentially acting as a guardrail.
My @nydailynews.com op-ed highlights a hard truth: gratitude for veterans means nothing if we dismantle the programs that ensure equity and access to care.
As a woman combat veteran, I know DEI is how we honor service in full.
#VeteransDay
I shared insights on the “Civic Engagement as Resistance” panel about how women of color drive collective progress as change agents, and the need to sustain civic momentum beyond elections.
Grateful to build with incredible advocates doing this work. #SOMOS #CivicEngagement
I had a great time on ABC’s News Breakfast discussing what Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory signals about New York City’s evolving political dynamics and the strategic lessons his campaign offers.

I moved to NYC the same year Humans of New York started, and Dear New York was a full-circle moment in my own journey as a New Yorker, reflecting how the city and its people shape each other.

On PBS’s To the Contrary, I discussed how technology & culture are reshaping conversations about accountability & human rights. These debates challenge us to think critically about the values guiding innovation and its impact on society.
