Kisha is mom to an incredible special needs adult, a proud Air Force mom, a Navy veteran, and a widow who has lived enough life for three people and still shows up ready to fight for her community. Kisha has been in the political and nonprofit game for years, working on campaigns up and down the ballot as a field organizer, communications director, and political director.
Service isn’t just something she does; it’s who she is. She grew up homeless, was in foster care, and from a young age, understood that the way you change your life, your block, and your people’s future is through power. Politics became her tool, platform, and purpose.
She carries the fire of Geraldine Ferraro, Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan, and Ann Richards with her wherever she goes. Their courage taught the world to break rules, ceilings, and silence. And when we see injustice, find our own way to fight back.
Today, through the Change Collective, Kisha is focused on empowering her community, especially around high-cost housing, veterans’ issues, environmental racism, bigotry, and unemployment. Her mission is simple: take action, build power, leave our community stronger than she found it, and make sure no one has to endure what she endured.
