Deirdre Grant

Steven is passionate about his work in policy implementation, advocacy, and social justice. He continues to demonstrate his comprehension of the type of intersectional work needed to foster systems that put underserved populations at the center of important debates and dialogue. As an organizer for an annual policy and advocacy summit, where AVAC served as a summit partner, he helped bring together over 100 young Black men from around the country, serving as the Chair of its selection committee, and the organization's Research and Program Officer. He also supported agenda-setting, which focused on policy mobilization and advocacy and led participants through professional development trainings and workshops.
