​Acknowledging 
​
Tribal ​Land
Picture
I acknowledge the traditional stewards of the lands whose ancestors have resided here since Time Immemorial. Many Indigenous people thrive in this place - alive and strong (a).  I express gratitude to the Tongva, Kucamonga, and Gabrielino people past and present for loving and caring for this land that was stolen from them. 
​

In response, I express my care for Native women and children by donating to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center to help stop violence against Native women and their children.
​

I also purpose to buy  and read books by Native authors and as my knowledge increases on how to be a better ally I step up to honor those who have come before and those I stand beside.

Get to know the Heartbeat 
of Our Black Founders
​​in the ​Inland Empire
I am so grateful to be a part of  The Bridges that Carried Us Over project and most importantly to have the archive of the stories of the lives of African-American visionaries, scholars, and trailblazers, icons in their own right, who paved the way for success by example! 

​They helped make San Bernardino an All-American City in 1977. Hearing their stories is a point of empowerment and it is a privilege to be able to honor them and their sacrifices and triumphs.
