Davis, Charlae
Charlae Davis knew she wanted her career to focus on community organizing within communities of color after receiving her Masters is in Social Work. She worked as a college counselor and later founded an African American mentorship program where she began to realize that non-academic considerations, needed to be addressed before their mentorship program could academically support our youth. It was clear that a holistic approach to supporting our youth, their families and their community was necessary. There continues to be some ambiguity between Policy and Practice and she sees endless possibilities when community voices are heard within policy efforts and reform. As a University Distinguished Fellows Recipient, Charlae is interested in designing and working toward the implementation of effective and culturally sensitive policy; partnered with community organizing, as well as holistic supplemental programs within urban/city areas.
