Venita possesses 15+ years of experience leading successful advocacy, digital, and multicultural campaigns. 

Previously, Venita used her digital and social media skills to organize millions of women of color voters during the 2020 election cycle, mobilize millions of low-income workers to call for passage of the HEROES Act, and to provide digital support in an attempt to defeat the passage of Amendment One in her home state of Louisiana.

Her past experience also includes leading the digital strategy for Legalize Illinois, providing strategic counsel and digital strategy oversight for a national campaign focused on raising awareness around metastatic breast cancer, and working on the team that secured a raise for direct support professionals in a year when similar services were being cut from the Illinois budget. 

Venita was a 2021-2022 Stanford PACS  Digital Civil Society Lab fellow, where she focused her studies on the privatization of voter data and the negative impact it has on organizing. She is also a 2020 Movement School fellow.

Venita's work has been honored with awards from the Association of National Advertisers (Multicultural Excellence Awards), the Association of Women in Communications, the Communicator Awards, and the Publicity Club of Chicago.
