I founded Urban Legacy in December 2019, months before the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are still thriving! Our mission is to “build black wealth.” We work together with a coalition of allies to achieve this through entrepreneur support, professional training, community events and more. As a data driven shop, we work hard to reverse the trend of median black wealth plummeting to zero by 2053. Throughout my work, I’ve seen a multitude of community organizations that need stronger support to do the work society needs done.

As a small business consultant at Singularity, I have seen that the most constant needs of small businesses are cost effective space, skilled employees and access professional expertise. Through Singularity, I served the City of New Rochelle‘s Department of Development when we applied for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant. This resulted in New Rochelle receiving $10 million for the Lincoln Avenue Corridor. My network of entrepreneurs, government officials, and executives will join me in helping New Ro communities thrive.

Being on New Rochelle City Council will be the culmination to the full body of my community advocacy. There is a theme to each one of the organizations I interact with. That theme is “Economic Development.” In each role, my goal is to bring resources into that organization to help the community and work with that organization to bring in more resources for our communities to grow! In addition to my nonprofit and consultancy, these are additional organizations on my curriculum vitae.
