He/Him | UX Research Manager
Company: JLR
Moved Here from: Bellevue, WA on September 2024
Why did you move here?

Moved here for work.

What is one thing that you need/want from a community right now?

A sense of community among other POC. I'm originally from a black community in NC, attended an HBCU, and pledged a black fraternity. I'm somewhat used to living in the PNW, but still appreciate the sense of belonging and familiarity I feel in BIPOC spaces and places.

What kind of civic connection are you interested in making?

I'm a former elected official, so I'm interested in connecting with community and civic leaders who are working to create a better place for our BIPOC community.
