Two words, Social Injustice. I, like many others, peacefully protested all over the country to walk off the anger, contempt, and refusal to be seen as less than human in this country. This journey amongst understanding social injustice helped me understand my passion for social justice in the United States and proved that one person’s idea no matter what age can make a difference. Due to these untimely events occurring during the coronavirus pandemic, I thought of how I could transition the misconception of rioting to protesting safely and peacefully. If one ever attends these types of demonstrations, it can be hot, last for hours, and congested with people. This brought on the idea of gathering two of my closest peers from my alma mater to gather donations from our friends and family. With it, we bought masks, food, drinks, sunscreen, fans, and hand sanitizer to pass out during the protest demonstrations to make it a safe environment. In a matter of days, we raised $3,000 dollars that was allocated toward supplies for protestors, and the rest was donated to non-profit organizations such as the NAACP and Texas Innocence Project. The remaining masks were distributed to the homeless in downtown Dallas, as they have no retreat to a 4-walled and sanitary water system environment. Furthermore, I was featured in a Facebook article by the Texas Innocence Project, which showcased our goal to assist the DFW community and challenge others to allocate their funds to higher causes during this grave time. I personally believe in making a positive stance and lending a helping hand to my community. I am lucky to have friends and family that support my vision and efforts. One way to work on problem is to cancel for-profit prisons and pass anti-hate bills for Black Americans.

Being a great leader means being a uniting force between communities that don’t always intersect. It is important to me to not only fight to make sure my voice is heard but also to the voiceless. I, Bella, always has her team’s back and will work tirelessly and without protest to make sure she does her best to bring unity and change wherever she goes. I have always felt I had this inherent responsibility and passion to serve my community and support policies that can better improve society. If I have concerns or feel I can make circumstances better for myself and others, I dive into the opportunity.

I have aspirations to enter the world of politics. I have always felt I had this inherent responsibility and passion to serve my community and support policies that can better improve society. If I have concerns or feel I can make circumstances better for myself and others, I dive into the opportunity. Being a past business senator at the University of Texas at Arlington, I got to be a voice for my business peers and minority communities. Through my representation and support, I inspired and reassured minority students from other academic fields to run in senate elections. Being one of the few women of color in student government and the UTA Ambassador program had its challenges, which I didn’t take lightly. I knew if I acted out of character at any moment, I could jeopardize the next person of color to be taken seriously and fall in the realm of being another statistic. By maintaining my integrity and hard work, I can prove that people that look like me deserve to be here. Another obstacle I have faced is breaking the communication barrier for minorities in places where we are not visible. By being in the UTA Ambassador program and student government, I gained friendships and familiarity with other races to the point it was less uncomfortable or intimidating to discuss racial and prejudicial issues that can be faced on-campus. It was my mission then and present to be a uniting force between communities that don’t always intersect. I believe I can contribute passion, drive, and diversity to any city I serve. I not only fight to make sure my voice is heard but also to the voiceless.

I actively listen by seeing, researching, understanding effects of injustice in my community. Listening to me means action in the field and supporting policies that will provide change.

Working at Lockheed Martin, I am the only Black woman on my team, and after George Floyd’s death, many of my peers had a lot of questions. I decided to use this opportunity to provide a voice and ear to other races and allies at work. Many desired to understand the injustices of Black people in America and ideas on how they can assist in doing their part to eradicate it.

The wisest words I have ever heard were from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

A turning point in my life would be the death of George Floyd that took place earlier this year. It became abundantly clear that being a Black person in America in 2020 versus 1820 was no different. It felt as if all those trials and efforts from slavery, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights movement were all in vain. What was the purpose of gaining rights and freedoms to still not be treated as a human being? How can an officer with no intervention from his peers not be held properly accountable for putting his knee on the neck of a non-violent man for eight minutes that ultimately lead to his death? I, like many others, peacefully protested all over the country to walk off the anger, contempt, and refusal to be seen as less than human in this country.
