Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of my business and work initiative, Earthwise
Productions of Palo Alto, which evolved from my participation in Palo Alto's Earth Day
organizing, in April, 1993. I have produced more than 200 community events, mostly rock
music and jazz concerts, the bulk of which utilized the former high school auditorium, at
Cubberley Community Center, a few years back. Beyond the business model, I felt intrinsic to
the effort was a cultivation of human relations, the gathering of people, the opening of ears,
and minds, and maybe hearts. Some events served overtly to benefit environmental or social
action NGOs. Recently my work also involved writing about music and art, and public policy
and social issues, on a blog; roughly 500,000 words.* Also, I have run for public office here and
applied previously for commissions and boards: Democracy demands active participation,
George Packer's "winding"; speak out; join, add your voice to the dialogue and discussion. I
hope to carry on -or in the Faulknerian sense endure, prevail -another 25 years, Lord willing
and the creek don't rise, in some combination of civic engagement and or private commercial
practice. If tapped, I'd gladly, lovingly shoulder 14 percent of this commission's mandate and
output, even at the displacement, deferral or sacrifice of my private stuff, my agenda.

I have a wide range of experience and training that I feel would make me very useful in the role.
Here is a brief synopsis of pertinent leadership experiences:
1. I have been able to successfully lead the University A.M.E. Zion through a significant
transformation and growth. When I arrived five years ago, our congregation was down
to 19 active members, who were black and seniors. Today we have grown to 120 active
members, and we are now a multicultural church with an average age of 32.
2. I have completed the required course of study and educational training necessary for
the ordination in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. The ordination criteria
are eight years of denominational study and formal schooling. This training included
focus on community building, interpersonal conflict resolution and more.
3. I work on the national level to address systemic societal issues. I am currently part of the
leadership cadre for the March Against Racism in Washington DC on April 4th in
Washington DC to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin
Luther King. This march is sponsored by the National Council of Churches which
represents 38 denominations, 100,000 congregations, and 45 million people.
4. I have been selected to be part of the Next Generation Leadership Cohort of World
Methodist Evangelism which is part of World Methodist Council which represent 82
million people from 133 countries.
5. I am part of the Emerging Social Leader Cohort of the Peninsula Solidarity Network. I am
the only clergy selected to the cohort from Santa Clara County.
6. I served as the Vice Chairperson for Ecumenical Hunger Program in East Palo Alto.
Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations:
I am currently the Senior Pastor of the University A.M.E. Zion Church which is the oldest black
church in the city of Palo Alto; this role has allowed me to connect with a wide range of
community leaders and to be on the forefront of community dialogue around many issues. In
the past three years I have led or participated in several initiatives to help foster a healthy
conversation in our community:
Community Open Forums on Race in America: After the tragic shootings at Mother Emmanuel
A.M.E. Church in Charleston SC, there was a significant community outpouring of concern about
race and where do we move from here. We held several community forums, which each had
over 150 people in attendance. These forums allowed us to start the discussion around race
and equality in our community and our country as a whole. Out of these community forums, we
executed three significant initiatives; the first was the Community Unity Fair at Cubberley
Community Center. We partnered with the city of Palo Alto and several local religious and civic
organizations to hold a community fair that had children of different racial, ethnic, and religious
backgrounds coming together to have fun. The goal was to create a space that would allow
DocuSign Envelope ID: C4619C96-457B-4723-B7BF-F4E706BFF269
children meet others from different backgrounds and let them see that we are all the same. The
second was viewing and discussing the movie
Church. This movie dealt with white privilege and its impact on racism and implicit bias and how
it impacts Palo Alto. The discussion was lively and cathartic. The third activity was a community
book club that read the book "The New Jim Crow." It was a thoughtprovoking and compelling
dialogue dealing with mass incarceration and how it impacts our communities.
I have also partnered with the Human Relations Committee in the planning of two initiatives in
2016 and 2017 named "Being Different Together." The original
2016 was a panel discussion and forum held at the Mitchell Park Library. I was part of the
planning team along with being the moderator for that event. This event was a great success
and well attended; it sparked us to ask the question, How could we continue the positive
momentum and equip community leaders with tools to address implicit bias In 2017 we
planned a 4 part Being Different Together." We worked with Dr. Joseph
Brown from Stanford University to bring the implicit bias training that Stanford developed to
the Palo Alto community. We were intentional inviting and encouraged persons from varied
perspectives to be part of this community dialogue. It was terrific to have so many different
views in the room. It made the discussion more meaningful and authentic. This initiative was a
great success because of the positive community response. It also allowed people to be
reflective of their implicit bias and it equipped them with tools to take back to their various
constituency.
I have also been active in promoting and developing ecumenical and interfaith connections in
Palo Alto. Under my leadership, the University A.M.E. Zion Church has led our community in
several activities to encourage religious tolerance. One of our events was sponsoring the 2016
Multifaith Peace Walk and Picnic to remember 9/11. The Multifaith Peace Walk started at
Congregation Etz Chayim/Spark Church, then it went to University Church, followed by walking
to Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church and concluded with American Muslim Voice hosted
Peace Picnic at Mitchell Park. Each of the stops put together a brief presentation on how we
can achieve peace in our society. The march was a fantastic show of solidarity in our community
with over 700 participants, and over 35 community faith and civic organization represented
including the Chief of Police from the city of Palo Alto.
Finally, I am part of the of the Social Justice for Emerging Leader cohort for the Peninsula
Solidarity Network. The Silicon Valley Foundation sponsors the Social Justice for Emerging
Leader cohort. This program gathers community leaders from many faith traditions to research,
discuss and dialogue with subject matter experts on issues that specifically affect our area. We
have spent significant time examining issues such immigration, hypercapitalism, and housing
issues.
1. What is it about the Human Relations Commission that is compatible with your experience
and of specific interest to you, and why?
DocuSign Envelope ID: C4619C96-457B-4723-B7BF-F4E706BFF269
Building healthy and sustainable communities is one of my passions. Whether it is in my role as
Senior Pastor at University or in the Palo Alto community, I desire to build bridges and give
voice to all stakeholders, equitably and efficiently. I believe this lines up with the stated
purpose of the Human Relations Commission of fostering public awareness and understanding
of human relations by any means. I believe the first step in any movement forward or
reconciliation is an open dialogue, and it hopefully will foster compassion and communication
for all parties involved.
We live in very complicated times, and I believe for Palo Alto to continue to be a healthy and
dynamic city, the work of the Human Relations Commission is vital. People in the community
need to know there is a place where they can speak on complicated and nuanced issues we
face today.
2. Please describe an issue that recently came before the Commission that is of particular
interest to you and describe why you are interested in it. If you have never been to a
Commission meeting you can view an archive:
The March 8th meeting of the Human Relations Commission dealt with the issue of Palo Alto
Police Field Based Video Policy. I believe this is one of the most critical issues in modern
policing. The use of these technologies adds a layer of accountability and protection to the
police officers. It's important that our city has a comprehensive policy in place to protect its
citizens and employees. In today's modern political climate policing incidents can be significant
flashpoints and having video evidence can hopefully allow for more clarity in the investigation
of these incidents.
3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Human Relations Commission
achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this?
Palo Alto is indeed a global city, attracting people from all over the world. Our diversity is one
of our greatest strengths, but it is an underutilized resource. Many people in Palo Alto have
limited community based around work, ethnic groups or children activities. We as a city need to
find ways to encourage and build deeper relationships based on the fact that we are all Palo
Alto residents. We need to find ways to help those who are new to the community to dive into
the deep end and connect with others. We also need to find ways to encourage longtime
residents to be more receptive and accepting of newcomers. If I have the honor of being on the
Human Relations Commission, my goal would be to develop resolutions, events, programs, and
initiatives to encourage broader community in the city we call home.

Employment
Present or Last Employer: Goldengate Regional Center
Occupation: Retired clinical social worker
Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations:
While raising my children I volunteered at their school and then
worked there as a t eacher's aide, substi tute teacher, and on special
projects where kids needed extra support. I resumed my social work
career as our children got older. Now that I've retired I have more
time to devote to our community.
Currently I'm back in the Unitarian Church choir and I am a member of
the YMCA .
We have to start our civic engagement somewhere in our lives. Those
with a robust resume had a point where they started and someone
recognized that they had something to offer. I have my years of working
with people (to get things done to improve their lives) to bring to
the Historic Resources Board. Why not give me a chance to contribute
l1ere. What is it about the Historic Resources Board that is compatible with your experience and
of specific interest to you, and why?
I'm interested in the history of our area and in assuring that our coming generations get to enjoy
this wonderful place as I have. Go ahead, take a chance on me! 0 0
