If you could have coffee with anyone in Topeka, who would it be and what would you ask them?
Past leaders in DEI spaces. I’d ask them, “What has changed for the better? What hasn’t changed or gotten worse? How can we leverage history to not continue to repeat the same challenges?”
What is your favorite locally owned business?
I am a foodie, so I love to support our local restaurants and food trucks. In addition to Flavor Wagon’s great food, I love the community service they do. Some other favorites are Soul Fire BBQ, Prize Package, Wheel Barrel and Tuptim Thai. I’ll always have a soft spot for Tortilla Jacks, where I worked my first job.
In your opinion, what does Topeka need the most right now?
Finding ways to teach and expose more Topekans to true financial literacy. With issues of homelessness, crime and the amount of people living at or below poverty, having a way to help them build their understanding and break generational curses would be a great thing for Topeka.
What is your walk-up song?
“Walking” by Mary Mary. It is based around faith, which is important to me, but also talks about taking things a step at a time and learning from your mistakes to continue to move forward.
