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 devoted to improving the holistic health of young people. Syda has worked with high profile nonprofits in Chicago alongside city agencies to connect 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!
