We are also gearing up for our first ever Giving Tuesday campaign, so please be on the lookout and participate in an activity or two. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theialasdc\">Follow on Instagram!<\/a>) I was recently selected for the Equity Development Initiative that provides educational training, equity, and connections to develop affordable housing in the District of Columbia.
