LITE Strategies

Grateful to see years of negotiation and collaboration result in legislation centered on affordability, grid reliability, energy storage, and workforce development.

Thank you to Governor JB Pritzker and Deputy Governor Bria Scudder for their leadership on Illinois energy policy; to Senator Steve Stadelman for his leadership as Chair of Energy & Public Utilities; and to my local legislators Rep. Dave Vella and Rep. State Representative Maurice West for voting in favor of this important legislation.

It was a privilege to work alongside the Coalition for Community Solar Access, the Joint Equity Eligible Contractors, Climate Jobs Illinois (Joe Duffy), the Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition (Kady McFadden), Vote Solar, Illinois Environmental Council (Jennifer Walling), Taylor Uhe LLC and so many others to get this important legislation passed for Illinois.

✨ Happy New Year from LITE Strategies! ✨
As we step into a new year, we’re energized by the opportunities ahead to advocate, lead, and deliver meaningful policy impact across Illinois. Here’s to bold ideas, strong partnerships, and progress that puts people first.

Wishing you a healthy, prosperous, and powerful New Year! 🥂🎆

This year reminded me that growth doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like healing, reflection, and trusting yourself enough to say yes.

I recently completed the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women in Business program with NYU Stern School of Business. It came at a time when I was still recovering from emergency surgery and grieving the loss of my mentor, Assistant Majority Leader Charles E. Jefferson. The experience restored my confidence and gave me space to work on my business alongside an incredible community of Black women entrepreneurs.

One outcome of the program was the creation of my Digital Advocacy Toolkit for individuals, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations. It’s available now for pre-order at a special rate of $24.99:
