Through a highly competitive nomination and selection process, I was accepted as a 2019/20 Jewish Women of Colour Social Justice and Equity Leadership Fellow with Dimensions Inc, lead by Yavilah McCoy and Tonda Case. This was an activist space to hone our leadership skills; throughout the year we traveled to different locations in the US (the pandemic forced us virtual in 2020), experiencing a variety of learning programs lead by a diverse group of field experts.
