Space Coast Cultural Arts & Business Organization (SCCABO)

I began my civic engagement work at the age of 17. I grew up in poverty in Jamaica Queens, N.Y., witnessing the immense despair and shattered dreams among residents. Driven by a belief in my ability to make a difference, I initiated activities for youth that offered practical ways for them to help themselves while acquiring crucial life skills.

These early successes fueled my desire to do more to empower residents residing in disinvested communities, similar to the one I grew up in. My inherent talent for bringing people together to create positive change is utilized to empower communities that historically endured the repercussions of government policies that hindered their efforts to rise above poverty. The existence of Space Coast Cultural Arts & Business Organization (SCCABO) is driven by this very purpose. We are ushering in a new era of boundless possibilities as we strive to build resilient communities.
