SVP for Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion @nlihc wkg to end housing poverty & create a more compassionate world.🌎 opinions = mine.

[Secretary Marcia L. Fudge @SecFudge]

It was my pleasure to join dynamic @NLIHC tenant leaders for a robust conversation about working together to realize HUD’s mission to create quality, sustainable, and affordable homes.

Tenant leaders deserve a seat at the table and for their voices to be heard. #NLIHCForum23

As you play Dot’s Home by @risehomestories, reflect on this quote by Ta-Nehisi Coates. “There's no way to understand housing as it exists today without federal policy. The racism in the system was pervasive & total.” | @NLIHC @CLRosales @EvNarc @sanfordgreene

Dot’s Home, a powerful choose-your-own-adventure game from @risehomestories, relies on the real-life experiences of its creators to share the story of housing discrimination in America. #BlackHistoryMonth

Scenes from NLIHC’s #tenantleaderretreat22 at The Resora. The Sherrods’ transformation of this land from trauma to triumph is an incredible inspiration and space for a retreat to build connection, power and purpose.
