To the concerned co-workers of KPFA:
My reasons for running for the Local Station Board are varied, however, I would like start by seeing that the Hip Hop generation and its perspective be included in the decision-making process. I am also female, African-American and a native of the Bay Area, which gives me another list of communities that I would like to see fully represented at KPFA. I am a writer, editor, producer and Apprenticeship graduate. I am a member of UPSO. I have been involved in grassroots, community organizing within the Bay Area for the last 10 years. I can say that I have been present to see the many challenges and struggles of KPFA. I have seen many changes and many transformations and we are still here, listener-sponsored and community-represented since 1949...and in 2007 the struggle continues, equally inside and outside of these walls.
