JUNE 17, 2023. A sincere “thank you” to Shania at the Zawadi Cultural Collective/Black in the Valley for recognizing AALO co-founder for her work in the community. This presentation took place at the 2023 Juneteenth Celebration at Pierce College! I feel very humble and grateful for this recognition, especially from this wonderful group that does so much for the community!
