Abstract Fairness

My experiences include visits to notable locations such as the Smithsonian Zoo, various Smithsonian Museums, Rock Creek Park, and Malcolm X Park. Additionally, I have accumulated a wealth of professional experience, having worked at multiple organizations from 1995 to 2018, which has enriched my understanding of diverse environments and cultures.

Reflecting on my early years, I recall being a 12-year-old student at NationHouse in 1988. This formative period played a significant role in shaping my values and perspectives. I have developed a strong stance against any form of mistreatment or disrespect, which I believe is essential for fostering a positive and inclusive community.

My journey through both personal and professional realms has been marked by a commitment to integrity and respect. The places I have visited and the roles I have held have all contributed to my belief in the importance of treating others with dignity. I remain steadfast in my resolve to advocate for fairness and to challenge any behavior that undermines these principles.
