ABOUT THE PARSP TEAM
Madeline (she/her)
Hi, my name is Maddie, and this is my dog Triton. I'm an Armenian American white cis millennial woman. I grew up in DC, and have been living in St. Pete since 2008 when I attended Eckerd College. I believe that white people should be doing more to get involved with and promote BIPOC-led organizations, activists, educators, and businesses, while flanking their efforts with background support and hard conversations.
Tabatha (she/her)
Hi. My name is Tabatha. I am a white woman with Hispanic roots, a mother, a wife, and an educator. I believe that it is up to white folks to educate ourselves on how we benefit from systems designed to suppress People Of Color. It is our responsibility to learn more, so we can be better allies and supporters during this critical shift towards anti-racism.
Sera (she/they)
Hello! My name is Sera. I'm a mixed native (Quechua/Taíno) who's lived in Florida most of my life. Through my years of perseverance, I became well versed in the history of the Indigenous and African diaspora. To help mitigate community outreach and resource needs, I've dedicated my passion and skills in design and programming to volunteering for organizations that promote equality, equity, peace, ease, and joy.
