It’s official! Round 1 of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is in. As a healthcare worker in the optometric field, I want to ensure my patients that I’m doing my part and helping to stop the spread of coronavirus. We can’t expect to return to normal without massive participation in science and herd immunity. When it’s your turn in line, I implore you to join me! #covid19 #covidvaccine #pfizervaccine #stopthespread (at Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWt4uYLlOEcXaFMZwitKa3Mfxn1VU8xh1u14g0/?igshid=1jj7i87zwp8ql

I thought that I’d emphasize my stance on #blackatsmcm because of recent events that have taken place with police brutality. I do not tolerate racism. Point blank period. After hearing story after story from students online about how isolated and unsupported they feel because of the underlying racist energy that lingers on campus made me furious. I wanted these students to know they didn’t have to stand for it. As a student leader, it’s my responsibility to fight for their equal value and presence on campus, and I plan to do just that. As shown above, I will work with the SGA President to ensure the people of SMCM have an outlet to turn to to activate change and awareness for our community.

The Senate last year had poor communication between both the Exec Board and its legislative members. Committees rarely met and discussed policy revisions to bills that were introduced. In order to accomplish better efficiency, I got the Mass Communications Act through the Senate unanimously, but it wasn’t enough. We need a total redesign of the legislative process. We need bills to be assigned to committees, given hearings with the sponsor, introduced to the floor for revisions from outside the committee, then given a final vote. This process is very similar to the Maryland General Assembly’s methods. (at St. Mary's College of Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESum3QJ5Vm/?igshid=1o14jajkhse5n

Last year, Class President Perriello and I got to work on a constitutional referendum that allowed the SGA to have more flexibility for rewriting the constitution. Last year alone was proof we needed to rebuild our founding document from the ground up. Now that my referendum passed with 97% approval, we can begin on our journey of envisioning a more efficient and democratic SGA. #smcm #seahawks #smcmsga #smcm2021 (at St. Mary's College of Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPJN3EJMkF/?igshid=szh8qpet80vn

COVID-19 has brought numerous challenges to our healthcare system. To reduce their workload, we need to build herd immunity to other pathogens in our community. I fully support @mcneeesby Flu Shot Drive and will support its expansion this year. #smcm #seahawks #smcmsga (at St. Mary's College of Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CENmmNjJ0Ib/?igshid=kd0gkolaup9p

I’m endorsing my friend & colleague @karinac2019 for re-election as she seeks another term in the Senate to represent us. She’s been with me on every vote and has worked as a team player since day 1. She’d be a perfect fit for our delegation. Join me on August 26 and help Karina and I get back to work for our Seahawk family!

If you’re a commuter, I’m not only asking for your vote, I’m asking you to support my friend @karinac2019 who’s been beside me in the Senate supporting our efforts of a better campus. You can pick both of us on August 26 and send us back to the Senate! We’re ready to get back to work 💪🏻.

Last year, Class Pres. Perriello introduced a bylaws amendment that would allow clubs to save half of the money they received from SGA into their separate fundraising accounts instead of all of it go into the “special carryover” fund (aka the rainy day fund made up of unspent money from last fiscal year). I strongly supported this effort, but then-Senators Sanchez-Santos and Ajanaku asked to table the amendment because they didn’t take the time to listen to the sponsor’s proposals and it’s benefits when he offered his time before the vote. The amendment later died because of their efforts. As your next Senator, I won’t let it happen again. I will sponsor this legislation again and get clubs the money they deserve to keep. Get ready to vote Aug. 26 yall!! We’ve got work to do. (at St. Mary's College of Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKChUKJlXc/?igshid=ogjotaa6lkl

It’s official! I’m running for re-election to the SGA Senate. If you’re a commuter or remote student, stay tuned for a ballot dropping in your email on August 26.

#somdpride was A BLAST! I had so much fun getting to know my neighborhood allies and members of my community. My closeted 12 yr old self would’ve been amazed at how far we’ve gotten as a community. #pridemonth #truecolors (at Calvert Marine Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzB0eqVnELZ/?igshid=1p2hy2vdux9ks

Late post, but Happy #pride y’all! 🏳️‍🌈 I got to meet Dr. Ardel Haefele-Thomas, the Chair of Queer Studies at City College of San Francisco. They gave me an amazing lesson on queer history and the origins of pride. It empowered me to be the openly gay man I am today, and to hold true during this commemorative month for our queer ancestors as we continue the fight for LGBT+ equality. The battle for our legal rights is far from over y’all. We still have work to do. As you celebrate inclusion and show your #truecolors, please also remember that Pride is more than a parade—it’s a civil rights movement ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻.
