"I chose to serve as a CAB member because I believe New Orleans is strongest when the people who live in our neighborhoods have a powerful voice in shaping what comes next. I want to help turn the lived experiences of Gert Town, Hollygrove, and Hollygrove-Dixon into real action, stronger infrastructure, greater resilience, better opportunities, and a united 17th Ward that can stand up, speak clearly, and help lead the future of our city."
