On Friday April 7, I attended a City Council Meeting at Inglewood City Hall for the first time in a long while.

Having been investing in this City and community for over 30 years I care a great deal about what happens when our chosen elected officials sit at that dais with their nameplates in front of them and vote on items that impact the lives of our residents.

For far too many years the members of this prestigious body did not always represent or make decisions that was in the best interest of its constituents.

The last general election was a red letter day for our city and the officials that represent us. An incumbent member of this body was not reelected and a longtime resident and community ally was chosen to take that seat on the coveted dais.

A seasoned and respected independent voice, not beholden to anyone except the citizens of the district that elected her.

Therefore, when Gloria Gray raised her hand and took that hallowed oath to become the first Black woman to represent District 1, I had to be there to witness it.

Not just because I endorsed her
