Introducing Better to Speak’s New Development Coordinator
We are pleased to introduce you to Better to Speak’s new Development Coordinator, Desiree’ Amboree (she/her). Desiree’ will lead our State of the Young Black Advocate initiative, and our general efforts to deepen our existing relationships, nurture emerging ones, and identify opportunities for organizational growth!
Hello Better to Speak Family,
I am so excited to be joining the Better to Speak team.
Recognizing You
Better to Speak sits at a unique intersection of digital storytelling and advocacy that provides a breath of fresh air to the causes that most impact Black youth. That’s because it is your voices that are doing the telling. It is an honor to join the Better to Speak family and continue to speak truth to power.
I’ve had the opportunity to read your Stories and learn about you. I'd love to share a little bit about myself.
The Dream Team needs your help to continue amplifying the voices and stories of Black youth and young adults through our contributing writer program. Can you contribute to support?
Introducing Me
I love pairing the mystical and the mundane: I am a full-circle doula and reiki healer who studies tarot and the Akashic records. I am also a mixed methods researcher focusing on state-sanctioned violence against Black women. I own and operate both Divinely Aligned Holistic Health and Healing, a birthwork and quantum healing business, and the Gulf Coast Doula Coalition, a community doula nonprofit based in the greater Houston, TX area.
For fun, you’ll find me in front of a giant bowl of ramen or watching reality television.
