Meet Our Advocacy Manager, Lamarra

Lamarra | she/her

Lamarra is no longer a team member here at Imagine Black. Her presence and hard work will continue to have an impact on the organization moving forward.

Lamarra emigrated from Kingston, Jamaica to Portland at the tender age of seven. 

She cut her organizing teeth with Don’t Shoot PDX, where she learned immensely from Teressa Raiford and Alyssa Pariah.

Lamarra loves language learning, listening to podcasts and reading, especially reading out loud before bed. She also loves making things and dancing to Reggae, Dancehall, and Afro-Beats.

When Lamarra gets a seat at the table, she takes her time to observe, then makes a decision.
