"I was born in Washington D.C. at the Greater Southeast Community Hospital, now known as the United Medical Center. My father had unexpectedly passed away months before I was born, leaving my mother in the difficult position of raising their child alone.

I intimately understand the trials and tribulations facing low-income families in the Fifth District, and across the nation. My younger brother, sister, and I were raised in Suitland, Maryland, where money was scarce and my family relied significantly on welfare benefits like TANF, SNAP, and WIC. My extended family — particularly, my aunts — provided much -needed support raising me and my siblings, enabling my mother to take classes, become an I.T. professional, and provide a brighter future for her children.

In the late ‘90s, my family moved to Waldorf, bringing us closer to the extended family that had played such a crucial role in my upbringing. The differences I noticed between the schools I attended before and after the move, from facilities to extracurricular opportunities, left a lasting impression. I understand that lower per-student spending on children from poorer communities can make a significant, negative impact on a child’s future, and that the federal government needs to take immediate action to address the inequalities in funding for public schools in our struggling communities.
