After the birth of her son Lincoln which was around the time Trayvon Martin was murdered, Shenika began a journey to call out police brutality and to raise awareness of the killings of unarmed black men, women and children across the country. In 2016, she began connecting with progressive candidates of common interest who were willing to stand and fight for legislation that impacted marginalized communities. Shenika overcame obstacles where many failed and is determined to dismantle every facet of White Supremacy intertwined in America’s DNA.

Shenika is the Chair of the African American Initiative of Colorado Democrats, Executive Director of Caravan for Racial Justice, Proud Board Member of Colorado Women’s Lobby and Truth & Conciliation and a National Spokesperson for Just Democracy fighting for Black & Brown Communities to end mass incarceration, abolish the electoral college, end the filibuster, expand the courts and fighting for DC Statehood.

Dr. Anne Keke is an African immigrant from Ivory Coast, West Africa. She immigrated to the US in 2001 and moved to the Aurora Highlands in 2006 and immediately fell in love with its beauty and diversity. She is a mother an educator and an active citizen of Aurora.

She helped the 18th judicial as a juvenile probation officer. She also helped with the Aurora Day reporting center where I oversaw and made sure that juveniles get help obtaining their GED. There she was translating for Spanish parents to ensure that they understood the program their children were involved in to better support them. She now volunteers as a restorative coordinator for the 18th Judicial in Arapahoe.

In her community, with the advent of Covid, she saw the critical needs local families and students had as they figured out distance learning. In response, she helped set up and led a range of successful tutoring programs that have served dozens of students in our district who needed extra help. She also co-facilitates a public speaking class to help immigrant professionals get over their fear of speaking in public -- allowing them to better advocate for their needs in the community.
