Comunity Specialist
Strategy Arts
Imani is a lifelong resident of Philadelphia and a mom of two children, Curt (12 years) and Asani (3 years). After graduating from Central High school (259th class) she earned a certificate as a coding specialist and worked as a data specialist, customer care specialist, and administrative health assistant. She is now working as a stay-at-home mom and a Community Specialist for Strategy Arts on the OVA project.
After having a traumatic birth experience with her second child where she experienced racism, Imani began to educate herself on the racial disparities in maternal and infant health that Black and Brown women in Philadelphia face. She brings a commitment to being part of a change that will keep Black and Brown women from pregnancy-related deaths to her work in OVA. Imani is an animal lover—she calls herself a “fur baby Mama”. She also enjoys cooking, reading, and writing poetry.
