Bio:
I am the Program Director for the Allied Media Conference. I work with some of the most inspiring media-based organizers in the world to develop the content for each year's AMC. My vision for the role media and art can play in generating transformative community-based solutions to our deepest problems is shaped by Detroit Summer-- my political home since 2002. I remain involved with Detroit Summer as an adult mentor for the new youth leadership of the Live Arts Media Project. I am member of the National Collective of INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence, supporting the development of a media justice task force. I came to the Allied Media Conference for the first time in 2002 and helped lead the transition to Detroit in 2007. I am invested in making the AMC a place where wildest visions of the Allied Media Projects community are incubated and realized.

Organization Mission Statement:
Detroit Summer is a multi-racial, inter-generational collective in Detroit, working to transform ourselves and our communities by confronting the problems we face with creativity and critical thinking. We currently organize youth-led media arts projects and community-wide potlucks, speak-outs and parties.
Allied Media Projects (AMP) supports the growth of media-based organizing models and disseminates them through the Allied Media Conference, an annual gathering of social justice organizers and alternative media makers in Detroit.
