We Are The Ones: Empowering Women, Changing Futures.
Together, we’re creating a world where Black and Brown women reclaim their power, rebuild their lives, and rise above systemic barriers.
About WATO :|:
WATO (We Are The Ones) was born from my own story—a journey through workplace trauma, systemic inequity, and the fight to reclaim my power.
This isn’t just a project or a program for me; it’s personal. It’s about taking the pain and challenges I’ve faced and turning them into something that heals and uplifts not just myself but other Black and Brown women who are navigating their own battles.

Flip The Table 4 Equity
SISTERHOOD.
Flip The Table 4 Equity (FTT4E) is not just a story—it’s a movement, an ongoing commitment to advocacy in action. What started as my personal fight for justice has grown into a platform that disrupts systemic inequity and inspires others to reclaim their power. FTT4E remains a space where I will continue exploring and executing innovative, community-centered opportunities to dismantle inequitable systems.
WATO’s Ripple Effect
EMPOWERMENT.
At WATO, we believe that uplifting Black and Brown women in crisis does more than stabilize lives—it sparks ripples of transformation that flow into families, workplaces, and communities. Every sister we support carries forward the tools, empowerment, and hope she’s gained, creating waves of healing and progress wherever she goes. Join us in creating waves. Together, we’ll prove that when Black and Brown women thrive, the future brightens for everyone.
“WATO is deeply personal to me—born from my own struggles and the strength I’ve witnessed in so many Black and Brown women. We don’t need to wait for permission to thrive. This is about reclaiming our power, supporting one another, and creating the kind of future we deserve—one where we rise on our own terms.”
Luckie Daniels :|: Flip The Table 4 Equity.
“Love this concept, many of us need mutual aid and solidarity, and also practice addressing crisis and issues collectively . . . a hedge against the individualism and capitalism that dominates our economy and technology, and by extension our culture practice.”

We Are Not Going Back: My Personal Call to Action
As we approach what feels like one of the most consequential presidential elections in modern history, I find myself reflecting on my “why.” Why I’ve dedicated my life to advocating for Black and Brown women. Why I created We Are The Ones (WATO). Why the words We Are Not Going Back feel more urgent and personal than ever…
