OUR Economic Development Team

Dr. Debora also known as "Deb" joined the Black Mothers Forum in 2017, where she serves as Executive Director & Educational Program lead dedicated to dismantling the school to prison pipeline and creating innovative learning opportunities for children and adults. 

She is devoted to transforming the education complex, the standards, policies, and methods used to prepare our children, youth, and educators. At the heart of the matter is Social Justice and Equality which includes the unraveling of the old, and design of new  approaches of multiple systems that overlap and continue to adversely impact Black, Brown, and underrepresented communities. 

Deb is also an advocate for Voting Rights and the creation/enhancement, and advocacy for policies and laws that will improve the lives of others socially, culturally, and economically.
