About Anna
In 2022, she published a critically acclaimed collection, The Black Agenda: Bold Solutions for a Broken System, which is the first trade publication to exclusively feature Black scholars and experts across economics, education, health, climate, criminal justice, and technology. In 2019, she co-founded the viral and award-winning digital campaign #BlackBirdersWeek. The year prior she also co-founded The Sadie Collective, the first non-profit organization to address the underrepresentation of Black women in economics, finance, and policy.
To date, she remains the youngest recipient for a CEDAW Women's Rights Award by the United Nations Convention on the Elimination all forms of Discrimination Against Women— previously awarded to Vice President Kamala Harris and former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Her writing and commentary is featured widely by media outlets such as Bloomberg, NPR, Teen Vogue, Slate, Essence, and The New York Times.
“The only way forward is with black women not as the saviors of democracy, but as the beneficiaries of it.”
