About this user
Her deep-rooted commitment to the needs of urban communities prompted her to create and launch The Urban Progressive Foundation (TUPF) project, CDP, 501(c)(3) public charity. This 14 year old foundation's purpose is to educate, train, inform, and create hands-on programs/events that enhance the lives of urban and rural communities as they maneuver through life's Digital Transitions. Through community education, technology hands-on programs, and development, TUPF helps the underserved communities maneuver through all facets of technology where it impacts, community, health and lifestyle issues. These "underserved, yet well deserved" citizens become engaged, excited and empowered by transitioning to new and more efficient modalities in the modern tech world.
