Southern roots.
A lot of questions.
I’m a Black biracial woman from Brunswick, Georgia, with Gullah Geechee roots and a PhD in Consumer Economics. I care about how people understand one another, how inequality becomes part of everyday life, and what it means to build a future we can share.
Let’s put the work to use.
