If you have a chance to check-out my LinkedIn profile, you will see I have had a varied career to which I feel extremely fortunate. Starting in junior high, my goal in life was to join the Peace Corps and work to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa. But my sister, Patty, who is two years older than me, questioned my motivation when there were issues on which I could work here in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So when I learned about ACORN in a class of mine at the University of Minnesota, I realized that organizing at a neighborhood level was what I wanted to do. My sister’s comment to me changed the course of my life. While ACORN taught me everything by which I live in regards to the importance of community voices, community organizing and fighting for our fair share through systems change.
