At Convo, we are using our platform to spotlight Black Deaf owned businesses, organizations, and anti-racism resources to amplify the voices of Black members in our community. Our goal is to provide these resources to encourage education and dismantle racism and bias in our country by championing organizations and small businesses who are taking action.

She was invited to join the celebration with Assembly Alex Lee, Councilmember Teresa Cox, San Jose NAACP last Friday. Without any doubt, CSD is proud of her, and please join me to send her a round of congratulations.
