Hi, I’m Antoinette! I’m a Queer Black feminist, activist, writer, community organizer, and mother of two running in the CD6 Special Election to bring care and resources to the community. I have a Master of Arts from the University of Southern California and a dual Bachelor of Arts from Stetson University in DeLand, FL. Since the start of the pandemic, I’ve replicated a weekly resource day at a new location and worked as a caseworker with the Noho Home Alliance to personally help the unhoused neighbors on their path to housing.
I am currently a Faith-Based National Organizer for the Unitarian Universalist Women’s Federation, where I build online programming and resources that foster relationships with member congregations and local organizations. Our work is to further the justice work centering women and femmes. I’m the founder of Black & Bookish Literary Collective, an expansive website dedicated to celebrating Black literature, the founder of the Valley Justice Coalition/Collective, an organization that creates justice projects centered in the San Fernando Valley, and a co-founder of the nonprofit More Than Sex-Ed, which brings comprehensive sexual health to tweens, teens, and families.
- Homelessness: My team will support and implement policies that recognize our unhoused neighbors as people. We want to increase outreach and access, while decriminalizing poverty, decreasing harmful enforcement, and supporting those most in need.
- Transit: Public transit should be safe, reliable, and accessible. Bus stops should have a place for people to wait comfortably. You shouldn’t feel that a car is what you need to get around the city of Los Angeles.
- Environment: CD6 has long been used as a sacrifice zone (a part of town where pollution is ignored because of who lives there). I am committed to see the closure of the Sun Valley Generating Station, as well as ways to decrease and cap the Sun Valley Land Fill. Our team prioritizes a green future for the Valley and all of LA by advocating for worker’s health and their livelihood.
As a Valley Girl since 2008, I'm personally passionate about homelessness, public transit, and environmental justice.
