Danielle is passionate about using her skill, experience and voice to build a just world for Black people in America. After 15 years of working in faith-based organizations where she successfully built and led staff and volunteer teams and oversaw the execution of large scale programs and events, she made the intentional choice in 2018 to step away from her career in ministry after witnessing a blind eye being turned towards racialized acts committed on her daughter's High School campus. She chose to return to her passion and work in advocacy and social justice and joined the Code2040 team in 2018 as Volunteer Manager and currently serves as VP of Programs where she works to build, resource and design programs to equip emerging technologists to be racial equity advocates for themselves and their communities. Danielle is a wife, mother, communicator, leader and coach. She enjoys building meaningful relationships, creating opportunities to connect people to their passion, speaking up and out against injustice and leading programs that impact and change the lives of Black people, women and children. When she's not working she can be found reading, enjoying good food with her husband or sharing a laugh with friends.
