Raymond is an unapologetic advocate who has proudly called Maryland home for the last five years. Raymond advocates with thoughtful intention, but is not afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions, or do the uncomfortable work. At a young age, Raymond had to learn how to advocate for himself and his family in order to have their basic needs met. Today Raymond uses his lived experience and public policy expertise to fight and advocate for those dealing with the same hardships he has faced.
Raymond has experienced homelessness, unemployment, inaccessible healthcare and discrimination as a gay Afro-Latino. And while any one of those could have been life changing, it was watching his 70-year old disabled grandmother get evicted from her home of 42 years, the home she raised him in, that solidified his pursuit of a career in advocacy. After seeing his grandmother spend a year homeless, and endure all of the hardships of homelessness, Raymond is dedicated to preventing others from sharing the same experience.
Raymond believes every child, parent, grandparent and resident has the right to a quality education, accessible healthcare, access to fresh foods, and affordable housing.
