Black Women for Peace

// September 12th, 2010 // Uncategorized

The Multnomah County Department of Community Justice is excited about the mission of “Black Women for Peace”. My personal involvement in this group goes beyond my business background. I was born and raised in the City of Portland and have first hand knowledge of the community, families, educational resources, gangs and widespread and well known racial injustice. “My City, My Soul” is the motto I have adopted since circa 1970. Growing up in the great NW was an experience that gave me skills and courage to do positive work in some not so compromising neighborhoods across America. The programs against violence I have researched here at home have key components missing. My mission is to broaden our reach and resources by exploiting the “good in the hood”. Highlighting opportunities and building relationships with corporate entities who also have a vested interest in seeing an end to the violence that has plagued our hometown for over 20 years. These innovative relationships will create a major impact. Solutions to poverty through interactive knowledge based campaigns will help us emphasize the historic relationships and the value they offer in recognition to Black Oregon. The history we share in our community is strong and we should be proud, however, without knowledge the generations will never know. I am interested in speaking with those Oregonians who have pride in home and want to see a brighter day. Let’s WORK together and develop OUR resolutions to SAVE OUR CHILDREN!!!
