Making Black History with Brooklyn, Sean, and Chevelle

This Black History Month we are highlighting the individuals making a difference in affordable housing today. These trailblazers are doing work across San Diego to build and preserve affordable housing, to provide services to residents, to finance, to address policy change and everything in between.

We asked: what legacy do you want to leave behind?

These are their stories…..

One that screams of how I sacrificially loved other people more than myself and put their needs before my own. Not specifically at the detriment of myself but always to the benefit of others, my neighbors.

At each of [my sisters and I] cores is the desire and heart-felt obligation to help people in need, and to maybe leave the world a little better than the way we have found it. That is the legacy I hope to be remembered for.

It is my hope that more Black women will join not only the journey of navigating intergovernmental housing policies, but government in general.
