Every Voice Matters.

Your Perspectives Count

True leadership is rooted in active listening. I am dedicated to hearing the stories, aspirations, and visions of Detroit's families, teachers, and students before the election.

 

Regardless of our individual viewpoints, each dialogue will inform my future service and policy decisions. I would be privileged to host a thirty-minute session for us to connect.
