Get to know me in three:

My home away from home:This is a hard one. It’s a toss-up between Colorado where I lived for a long time and New York City where I lived and continue to frequent. While both places are different, it is exactly those differences that speak to multiple parts of my heart.
What makes LCW special:The foundation of LCW includes the basic acknowledgement of individual differences coupled with social justice. That is the basis for humanity.
The challenge that shaped me:Losing my brother (he was 18 years old) when I was 15 years old to unexplained violence. Watching my mom and dad continue to take care of business while they both grieved.
