I was recently honored at the 2024 Black Excellence on the Hill event, which is hosted annually by the Massachusetts Black & Latino Legislative Caucus (MBLLC) to commemorate Black community leaders and trailblazers who are making a difference in cities and towns across the Commonwealth. I was nominated for this recognition by Representative Mike Connolly. This year's celebration was held in the State House Hall of Flags with opening remarks from MBLLC Executive Director Zavon Billups, Caucus Co-Chairs Representative Bud Williams and Senator Liz Miranda, and Governor Maura Healey. The keynote address was given by Reverend Clyde Talley.
Created in 1973, the Black and Latino Legislative Caucus remains a voice for Massachusetts' communities of color in the Legislature. They seek to empower constituents to gain a deeper sense of political awareness on issues concerning them and their greater communities. The MBLLCโs 24 legislators remain dedicated to serving communities of color throughout the Commonwealth through legislative, budgetary, and community endeavors.
