I enjoyed serving as a Talk Back Respondent after watching the excellent play performed by the Coppin Repertory Theatre titled Wrong River". The Coppin State University production provided an indepth look into the plight of a family affected by the Flint, Michigan Water Crisis. The performers were phenomenal and conveyed the lived experience of those impacted.

It was a pleasure attending Dr. Yvonne Bronner's Retirement Celebration at Morgan State University (MSU). As a former Morgan Doctor of Public Health Program scholar, I witnessed firsthand Dr. Bronner's dedication to the program and its students. I wish her well in her future endeavors, which I am sure will involve community engagement and public health.😊

On Wednesday, September 16, I had the pleasure of

On Wednesday, September 16, I had the pleasure of attending the 10th Annual Maryland Child Trafficking Awareness Conference at the University of Maryland School of Social Work.

The conference was both informative and thought-provoking, bringing together professionals committed to increasing awareness, strengthening prevention efforts, and improving responses to child and human trafficking. The presentations reinforced for me that addressing trafficking requires collaboration across criminal justice, public health, social work, education, victim services, and our communities.
I left the conference informed, inspired, and motivated to do my part. As a criminal justice educator and public health advocate, I look forward to continuing to educate students and community members, elevate awareness, and support efforts that prevent exploitation and protect vulnerable populations.

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Natio

I recently had the opportunity to attend the National Domestic Violence Hotline Conference in Austin, Texas, and I left the experience inspired and reminded of the importance of our collective work to address domestic violence and support survivors. The lived experience and sight of survivors and advocates shared was powerful.

One of the highlights of the conference was the closing conversation featuring National Domestic Violence Hotline CEO Katie Ray-Jones and Dateline NBC correspondent Josh Mankiewicz. As a correspondent for Dateline NBC, the longest-running primetime program in NBC history, Mankiewicz has spent years reporting on complex stories involving crime, victimization, missing persons, and the experiences of individuals and families impacted by violence. The conversation between Katie Ray-Jones and Josh Mankiewicz was particularly meaningful because it highlighted the important intersection of storytelling, journalism, advocacy, and survivor-centered work.

I was able to connect with advocates, professionals, leaders, and colleagues from across the country who remain committed to this work. I returned from Austin informed, energized, and even more committed to advancing efforts that promote safety, dignity, healing, and empowerment.

I was honored to contribute to the Houston Public

I was honored to contribute to the Houston Public Safety Needs Assessment, published by Texas Southern University’s Center for Justice Research. As a criminologist and public health advocate, I value opportunities to support research that examines public safety through a comprehensive lens—one that considers community experiences, systemic challenges, and the social conditions that influence violence, victimization, and well-being.

This work reinforces my commitment to advancing evidence-informed, community-centered approaches to public safety. Meaningful and sustainable solutions require collaboration among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the communities most directly affected by public safety challenges. I thank Dr. Howard Henderson who leads the Center for Justice Research for the opportunity to support such meaningful work.

True reform requires us to look directly at where

True reform requires us to look directly at where our systems fail our communities, even when the data is uncomfortable to face. In public safety and criminal justice, ignoring structural gaps won't make them disappear.

We have to courageously face the truth of our current realities before we can strategically design a safer, more equitable future.

What is a truth in your local system or community that we need to face today? Let’s talk about it in the comments. 👇🏾
