Healing starts with knowing you're not alone. This BIPOC Mental Health Month, let's continue breaking the stigma around mental health and remind one another that reaching out for support is a sign of strength. Together, we can build communities where everyone feels seen, valued and supported.

The Reparative Justice Package, which I am proud to co-sponsor, will confront historical and ongoing inequities with honesty and provide much-needed data to help shape policy. As Historian of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus, it's important to me to address the disparities impacting Black Michiganders so that we can build a brighter and more equitable future for all.

It’s my honor to serve my constituents, businesses and community organizations in HD8. A very important part of my job is bringing back dollars to the district. Last month I testified for appropriation dollars for Friends of the Children Detroit with Executive Director, Derschaun Brown…I was able to obtain $300,000 for their program. Additionally, I was also able to obtain $500,000 for the Ferndale Firehouse Rehabilitation, I’m happy to continue to work hard, serve and make a difference in my HD8🇺🇸 #HD8Strong🦋

I’m committed to making housing more affordable for folks on a fixed income — that way you can stay in the comfort of your home and community. That means supporting policies that keep rent stable, expand property tax relief and invest in safe, accessible housing options that allow you to age with dignity and security.

I take protecting older Michiganders seriously. Financial exploitation costs victims nearly $3 billion every year. That’s why I supported strengthening Michigan’s financial exploitation laws. Now, financial advisors can step in and delay suspicious transactions if they believe an older resident is being deceived, giving you more peace of mind and helping keep you safe.
