Shahidah has been in the DC area for close to 20 years and during that time, she has seen the city grow and change in many ways. Because of this change, she has developed a passion for Non-Profit work and building community with families and children across all wards of the city. This passion has led her to understand the power of education, artistic expression, and cultivating prosperous relationships between families and community. Mental health is also a topic that she holds dear to her heart and is proud to be on the ONYX team as they heal the community in a transformative way.
