Fairfax County Department of Family Service (+ Poet)

Tell us a little about your job:

I am a Father Engagement Specialist III. I organize and teach Dads Parenting Groups for fathers. I assist practitioners and community partners on best practices around engaging men and fathers.

What’s new since you graduated from LPW?

I recently published my third poetry collection titled, “Music Made Me (Us) Do This.” I also sit on the board of directors with Words Beats and Life, a non-profit organization that uses Hip Hop and arts to empower and strengthen the youth and communities.

What is your favorite LPW memory?

The team-building activities. They challenged me in a healthy way.

How has Leadership Prince William helped you get to where you are today?

I have a new confidence about myself. I feel like I can connect with people more effectively.

What does leadership mean to you?

It means that you are always willing to learn and take risk.

Any final thoughts?

LPW is Awesome!

No matter your background, if you are interested in your community and making it better while making yourself and your business more successful, then take the time to participate in Leadership Prince William. It will make a difference. You will make a difference.

I can’t imagine any leadership program having more of an impact on my life, both personally and professionally, than Leadership Prince William.

You’ll forge long-lasting friendships with your classmates and alumni – and you’ll learn about yourself along the way. You’ll be provided the opportunity to look critically at how you think and behave – and develop strategies that focus on your strengths to create stronger teams and to become a more effective, compassionate leader.

The program allows greater appreciation and understanding of all facets of the community. The program demonstrates how to lead change one person at a time, one group at a time, one community at a time.

I believe that Leadership Prince William has provided valuable information about the many different aspects of our entire community as well the opportunity to participate in discussions in which leaders share differing perspectives and proposed solutions to our challenges.
