Believing in responding to social shifts by acting in creative ways that generate new solutions, Kadesha “KD” Minor, practices innovation to her core. After feeling stifled by unprogressive policies and industries, the Southwest Louisiana native made an impromptu move to New Orleans, where she worked her way from the front desk of a small boutique hotel to becoming an area 5-diamond hotel’s first Content Marketing Manager, all while grassroots organizing and attending classes at Tulane after hours. A former Americorps Public Ally, KD has a wide range of experiences that have shaped her fluid worldview. From reconnecting opportunity youth to education and employment to managing the buildout of many movement-based organizations’ websites and databases, she is guided by the hopes and courage of those who have fought before and beside us.
A mutual aid organizer, KD has worked in solidarity with her impacted hometown to crowdfund and disburse over $100,000 cash and resources to people impacted by Hurricanes Laura, Delta, and Ida. When not serving as the Community Solutions Coordinator for The Alliance, KD finds herself mothering one little person, gardening, and wikipedia research tangents.
