- Christianity
Welcome to Season 2! This week’s episode, I am chatting with House of Reps electoral candidate Iroghama Omere about her journey of serving members from District 7 in Brooklyn, NY via the White House. The conversation is very timely and gives us insight on how to effectively advocate for members of the Diaspora community. About Iro Iroghama Omere was raised in Dallas, Texas and graduated from Prairie View A&M University. As an undergraduate student, she was selected to be the Resident Director.
During her tenure, she established a
Residence Housing Association which served as a governance committee giving students leverage to advocate for improvement of campus living. Her work at her alma mater led her to Houston, Texas in the role as a
Program Coordinator at the University of Houston. As coordinator, she worked closely with families to help finance college education, encouraged students to peruse higher education and created policies which ensured access to students to obtain an education despite of economic background.
She decided to continue her education at John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, Georgia where she studied law. Currently, Iroghama Omere is an educator in Brooklyn, New York and a candidate for United States House of Representatives in the 2020 general
elections. She strives for a government that will adequately represent the needs of the citizens, implement sustainable policies that will stand the test of time and create an inclusive society where individuals live happy and fruitful lives.
