SYDA SEGOVIA TAYLOR


"There is a dire need and urgency for us to understand that we are one human family.
​We are witnessing the danger of believing we are not interconnected."
We are a part of one world and every race, age and gender are needed to advance society. Emotions and logic are both valid just as arts and sciences are
equally important.

​The past 25 years have been d
evoted to improving the holistic health of young people. Syda has worked with high profile nonprofits in Chicago alongside city agencies to bring opportunities to youth in under-resourced Black and Latino communities.

​She takes great pride of being a social justice advocate: promoting race unity, gender equality, oneness of humankind, health and food access, the arts, harmony between science and religion, and quality education. 
​
I believe we need to be strategic, intentional, and let the data 
​guide us but we also need to build long-lasting relationships, reflect on what we've learned, and most importantly have fun!
