We are elated to share that our Director of Advocacy & Workforce Initiatives has recently joined Of Color’s Board of Directors.
Of Color, Inc., has been a partner of ours for many years, and we are excited that Cosette has the opportunity to continue to support their work in this capacity.
The Black-led organization on the South side of Chicago provides workforce development support and training, job placement, and rapid rehousing services to people across Chicago.
When asked why she wanted to join Of Color’s Board, Cosette shared that, “It has always been deeply important to me, beyond advocacy and organizing, to champion programming and direct services that resource, promote the wellbeing of Black people in the city where I was born and raised. I am excited to join this board because it is an opportunity to help bolster the necessary services that Renita and her team provide at Of Color, learn from the work and the other Black women leaders on her board, and to provide my perspective as a Black queer womanist, and as a millennial professional in ways that expand opportunity for others that share my experiences.”
