ACTIVISM

 Lead Organizer with the New York City Dyke March

The NYC Dyke March is an annual non-permitted demonstration in protest of the discrimination, harassment, and violence Dykes face in our communities. I manage all aspects of our volunteer-led organization, from finances and budgeting, to event planning and fundraising, to amplifying and modernizing our social media presence.

Event Manager of the 2023 NYC Pride March

As the Event Manager of the 2023 NYC Pride March, I planned and executed one of the largest events in North America, while managing an Event Coordinator and a Volunteer base of 800+ participants. I reimagined the March Registration process, the March Order, the Run of Show, coordinated Load In/Load Out and Production logistics, managed March-related partnerships, and Ground/Day Of Operational Procedures as it relates to Heritage Of Pride and the NYC Pride March. I exceeded the event’s projected income by more than 50%, personally raising nearly $1.5 million dollars for Heritage of Pride at large, all while using the NYC Pride platform to support, uplift, and highlight Black Trans Organizers and Community Groups from my personal contacts. My community outreach skills and values are also reflected through the 2023 NYC Pride March Registration process, where 25% of our 400 participant groups were first time marchers from Non Profits and Community Groups, and only 8% of total participants Corporate Partners.
