My Philosophy

Ensure that every decision we make for Swing can instill our legacy for the next 100 years.

​

I found Swing Phi Swing when no other organization fit my philosophy on service and community as it related to the Black community.  Since being a member of Swing, I have found my VOICE by actively working towards change.  No one gave me a book on how to be a SWING but I observed the inner workings of our Sisterhood and found ways to bring order and structure to our processes.

​

I have had the opportunity to work under three past National Presidents, Tanya McKoy-Sutton, Cheryl Kornegay, and Sharon Chandler, who all gave me a chance to work on projects dealing wth 501 c3 status, Rites of Passage, and Media Affairs.  I have worked on the Compliance Committee and Nominations and Recognition.  Each opportunity gave me a chance to work with women who have given their blood, sweat, and tears to keep this organization alive.



​We can't afford to focus on distractions when there is work to be done.  The living legacy of our Sister Founders depends on us to work together to do the following:

• Focus on solutions to bring order to our house to make us a better and professional non-profit organization​
• Commitment to service that is meaningful, consistent, and relevant to the rods of our foundation​
• Establish and nurture partnerships and viable opportunities for funding and sustainability​
• Extend the SWING brand to local, national, and international communities in service to humanity
