About xavier
 

One thing I love about being the Deputy Director of the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation is I get to spend a lot of time learning about the Black Panther Party's strategies and operations. Their organization was impactful because they had a strong theoretical framework and understanding of law, they were community-oriented and data-driven, and made sure the people they served knew about their programs. They had a stellar organizational model that I emulate in my own nonprofit management and research consulting. Former Black Panthers and their literature have informed my practices, but so has my formal education

In 2021 I completed my Ph.D. in history at the University of California Berkeley and I applied my degree to fellowships at policy companies, nonprofits, and government agencies. Through education and fellowships, I not only gained a deeper understanding of American history, but a way of contextualizing contemporary issues and providing solutions tailored to public or private institutions.

As much as I love the work I do, there are only 24 hours in a day and I love to spend them with my family. I always set time aside to play with my daughter, attend art exhibitions, and travel the world. And every once in awhile I catch some sleep! Thanks for visiting my website.
