I have earned these awards while at same time raising my 2 children, advocating for renters and yes having my say in eviction court as well. It’s no secret that eviction courts are collection agencies for corporate landlords. I have gone to court many times and I pay my rent and leave that court room going to meetings, advocating for renters, children and homeowners.

Since day one I have been fighting for you and I’m still standing
And will continue to fight for everyone as your
