Takisia Whites
Takisia is a card carrying member of the hip hop generation. She is a self proclaimed specialist in officianado of “hip hop torrets”. Born in the boogie down birthplace during the genisis of the movement she has been stung by the hot comb a many evening while bopping a little to much when the beat hits just right. Takisia began as a land use planner and housing specialist and touring the community as a safety and services coordinator. She has grown into community finance expert of government funded projects with ancillary services all in an effort to ensure that all people get access to a fair start: decent housing, wholesome food and good health care options. Having worked in politics, banking, non profit managment she earned the title of Jack/Jane of all trades, but has not proclaimed herself as master of any. Her mature young adult children and dependable husband keep her from over committing to the trades so that she doesn’t get burnt to badly.
