Here are 4 words I never thought I’d say: I’m running for office. I’ve figured something out about myself over these past few years. When times are tough, I lean in. I don’t run from difficult conversations. I don’t feel daunted by big challenges. I don’t let any one setback get me down. Above all else, I care deeply about people. I’ve had the great opportunity to focus my career specifically on a People/HR angle the past several years, helping businesses grow sustainably while also creating incredible work environments, and it’s been the most fulfilling work of my life. And yet, I feel there’s still more work to do, which is why today I’m announcing my candidacy for the Metropolitan Council, District 8. We face a great many challenges down here in Louisiana’s capital city, Baton Rouge. Our infrastructure is woefully unprepared for a worsening climate, with no plan in sight. Our talent is being exported en masse, instead of laying down roots at home. Our community faces challenges with homelessness, police reform, and splitting apart. Things could be a lot better, and none of the solutions will be easy. But if I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s this: when we put the focus on people, everything else tends to work itself out. I’m running for city council to put the focus back on helping people. I believe we can not only fix our floods, but lead the nation in stormwater management. I believe we can reform our police department, and rebuild trust in the community. I believe we can make a capital city that we love so much, that our young professionals choose to stay for opportunities here. One of my favorite quotes feels fitting today: "Far and away?the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." There's no challenge we can't overcome - and I’m ready to dive in. Will you join me? Check out my ten year plan for Baton Rouge, sign up to volunteer, or even chip in a couple of bucks, at the link in the comments. And to every single person who's helped me, worked with me, mentored me, in any capacity over the past several years: thank you for making me the person I am today. (Also yes, I'm still working, because I'm not rich ??) #batonrouge #louisiana #metrocouncil

As we look towards a brighter future for Gilroy, it’s crucial to have leaders who stand firm on the issues that matter most. I'm committed to bringing integrity, safety, and prosperity to our community. Here’s where I stand: Political Integrity: In times of dwindling trust, I pledge honest, transparent leadership that respects and responds to Gilroy voters. Public Safety: With a personal connection to law enforcement, I prioritize bolstering our police and fire departments, advocating for more personnel, competitive salaries, and improved infrastructure, including a new fire station. Local Control: I champion responsible growth, aiming to preserve Gilroy’s unique character against state mandates and ensuring our community decides its own destiny. Fiscal Responsibility: As a steward of taxpayer dollars, I will enforce policies that cut waste, increase transparency, and ensure funds directly benefit the community by fixing streets and enhancing public services. Downtown Revitalization: I support efforts to revitalize Downtown Gilroy, attracting businesses, jobs, and tourists to enrich our community's heart. With a platform built on integrity and a vision for a thriving, safe, and autonomous Gilroy, I am ready to lead. Join me in supporting a candidate who understands our challenges and sees our potential.

ECAS Enforcement Teams, out spreading the messages against FOG; looking more like a Parking Enforcement or FOG SWAT Team!! Water Companies outsourcing their Regulatory obligations to private FOG SWAT Teams needs industry debate! Do you really need hi vis, body cams, radios and all that PPE to take a look at a kitchen's grease management?

We need more leaders to do things like this. We tend to think that one department is responsible for one thing. Compartmentalizing everything in hopes that it will create efficiency. There happens to be leaders with ideas that transcend their departments. Keep Bridging the Gap to help communities!

Today, in an inspiring segment by the Civil Service Race Forum, led by Lesley Events Lead - Civil Service Race Forum (Events Lead) and Justin Placide - Co-Chair of The Civil Service Race Forum (Co-Chair), we delved into the pervasive issue of **Imposter Syndrome**—a feeling familiar to many, where self-doubt overshadows one’s true capabilities. We explored experiences that make us question our worth and how our lifestyle, socioeconomic background, and regional factors shape the way we face the world. Our speaker, Shereen Billings, shared her powerful journey, recounting her mother’s decision to return their family to the Caribbean. This move had a profound effect on her perspective, both in life and in the workplace. Growing up surrounded by people who looked like her in positions of power and respect allowed Shereen to see herself in similar roles confidently, without question. Reflecting on my background as a teacher, I saw firsthand how students, too, were impacted by this lack of representation. It’s why seeing shows like *Bridgerton* feature people of color in prominent, traditional roles was so impactful. Representation matters deeply. And so does allyship—people from all backgrounds standing together. Whether we’re leading, representing, or supporting as allies, we’re only stronger when we face these challenges together. Only then can we collectively rise, helping to reduce the hold of Imposter Syndrome for everyone. What have been your experiences and how do you work to overcome this? #imposterSyndrome #civilserviceraceforum #community

Capacity building is a cornerstone of the work EJUSA does. But the term is also a little abstract when it comes to practicalities. That's why I think this this piece from my teammate Taylor Dominique Mason is so excellent. They paint a picture of capacity building so you can see the steps and understand all the steps that make an idea become an organization that becomes part of a movement. I hope you read it. https://lnkd.in/eJjVX6vq
