"I am African-American, and my grandparents are from Elizabeth City, North Carolina. I was born in Harlem, New York, in the 1970s.

I am a retired Personnel Specialist in Human Resources, a DSAT (Firefighter), and have experience in Visual Communications.

I became involved with Housing Plus through SUS during a difficult time when I was struggling to find housing in New York City. I have been with Housing Plus for three years."
