How are you active in your community and/or hope to inspire change?
I’ve been a police officer for 9 years and I am currently a recruiter for the LAPD. My job consists of interacting with different communities in SoCal to promote our department and hiring. One day, I was at a recreational facility, and people were playing basketball and I made a trick shot in front of them while in uniform. I saw that as an opportunity to create a bridge between law enforcement and the community because basketball is something everyone can enjoy, and I got a positive response.

How are you active in your community and/or hope to inspire change?
I’m an undocumented Queer writer from Alcapulco Guerrero currently living in Occupied Tongva Territory. I’ve worked in schools and with community organizations in the city of Anaheim, CA for over five years and I'm currently a research fellow with UCLA’s department of Chicana Studies with the Million Dollar Hoods Project where I study the impact of mass incarceration in our communities. I am passionate about empowering and supporting men and boys of color given the particular society we’ve inherited.

James Charles Morrison chose me and [another model] N’dea to represent these T-shirts to convey the message of Black unity and protecting our Black sisters as they do the same for us. With the United States in shambles, being in a state of division and exile, we can rely only on each other to protect us the way we need to be protected.
