Partnerships

The Organization for Human Rights and Democracy (OHRD) engages in multi-issue, grassroots, radical, intersectional organizing to transform communities and the world using Metro-Atlanta as the model. We are guided by the lived experiences, the activism, and the knowledge of Black feminists and women of color. We prioritize working class people of color and the conditions they experience to build movements and an institution for change.

Each YES! Jam brings together approximately thirty outstanding changemakers for a week of networking, skills sharing and community building. YES! Jams create transformative fields of shared inquiry in which leaders deepen the root system behind the commitments, prayers and actions that move through their lives.  Our alumni, potent and dedicated multigenerational social change leaders across 85+ nations, support one another and collaborate together on-goingly long after the Jam, sustaining themselves for a lifetime of service to the world.

The program incorporates facilitated dialogue, sharing circles, inspiring guest speakers, organized networking, ceremony, live music, artistic expression, games, movement, participant-led workshops, and free time for participants to enjoy each other and the beautiful environment surrounding them. The core of our work at a Jam is to create a space where inspiring change-makers can build community, and together forge bridges of solidarity and partnership towards the creation of a thriving, just, and regenerative world for all.

Project South a southwide organization are a dedicated group of activists of all colors and identities and different forced stations in life, clusters of indigenous organizers throughout the South, who valiantly wage the struggle  to bring  real freedom to all through an understanding of capitalism as the powerful engine of historic enslavement and exploitation of labor that maximized profits for the capitalists by any mean mean necessary.  Visit their website which I helped to create and currently manage below.

Alongside Project South, I have also assisted Gulf South Rising, the University Sin Fronteras, and the Southern Movement Assembly along with Chi Nwogu and Fedna Jacquet in creating a web platform to spread their messages.

12 years ago I established the GOALS Dream Team Scholarship Program, giving teens in Haiti the boost they need to graduate high school. The GOALS Dream Team currently funds 29 students, each of whom is on track to become the first person in their family to graduate high school.
