It’s Time for Change

What about us?

While the City is bursting at the seams with new development, the everyday needs of residents have been overlooked. After watching wealthy developers become richer in Inglewood – it is time to enrich the lives of residents and make us a priority.

We can re-imagine the City’s next chapter with a new vision – a vision inclusive of the community’s voice. I’ve dedicated hours listening to the concerns of our residents and they see the Inglewood Renaissance leaving them behind. Sure, entertainment venues offer benefits, but at a high cost to everyday life. Residents tell me they want transparency, thriving small and large businesses, safe, clean, non-congested neighborhoods, stable housing, uncomplicated parking, and great schools. In fact, I had the honor of meeting a longtime resident whom I will call Ms. MRJ who shared:

“The City has so much potential to do good [things] for residents. There is so much that can be done.”
