I have dedicated my life to fighting for what is right. As an openly lesbian woman, I have always lived authentically, with nothing to hide and no personal political ambitions. My primary goal is to provide the voters of District 4 with a representative who truly reflects their values and interests, unlike the current representation by Mike Johnson.

Core Beliefs and Platform

I firmly believe that the government should not enact laws that strip away individual rights. My platform focuses on the following key areas:

• Pro Choice & Women’s Rights
• Pro Equality: Advocating for criminal justice reform, LGBTQ+ rights, and equal pay.
• Pro Innovation: Supporting and incentivizing blockchain and cryptocurrency companies to establish themselves in Louisiana, thereby creating high-paying tech jobs in District 4.

My Story

At 19, while living with my mother in Shreveport, LA, I became an active member of the AIDS activist group ACT UP Shreveport. My inadvertent outing by Gwen Campbell on KTBS News led to my mother kicking me out of her home. Since then, I have been self-reliant, working tirelessly to become a successful businesswoman.

Documentary Features

I am featured in the following documentaries:

• Small Town Rage: Fighting Back in the Deep South (2017)
• Closet to Pride (2024)

Professional Background

My passion for technology and innovation began in the 90s when I worked for Evolution Online Systems, a software development startup launched by one of the first internet service providers in the U.S., Mindvox, in New York City. During the early days of the internet, I was part of a team developing an early web browser before the advent of Mosaic and Netscape.

I hold a Master's degree in Information Technology with a specialization in Information Security from the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom.

Community Service and Leadership

Since returning to the United States in 2020, I have committed myself to public service, striving to make Shreveport a better place. In 2023 alone, I dedicated an average of 40 hours per week to volunteer work, championing reproductive freedom, women's rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. My recent public service activities are documented on my campaign page from my DSCC campaign in March 2023. I played a pivotal role in recruiting most DSCC candidates from North Louisiana and one from the South. As the founder of Louisiana Blue Team, I developed the website, campaign pages, and graphics for all candidates involved in the La Blue Team reform effort.
