Good Morning Mayor and City Council Members.
My name is Tashia Love, and I am a Nilo Garcia of Akoma Unity Center.
I would like to extend my support of Akoma Unity Center and its lease renewal.
Akoma has had a meaningful impact on my scholar and my household by providing
accessible programs like Digital Arts, 3D Printing, Coding, Robotics, Hydroponics,
Aquaponics, Teen Mental Health. Akoma provides my scholar with a safe learning
space, building their confidence, expanding their minds and expanding their
voices through civic engagement.
Akoma is more than a program—it is a safe space where our scholars feel seen,
supported, and empowered. It provides consistency, care, and opportunity that
families like mine depend on.
I strongly urge you to support the continuation of Akoma Unity Center’s lease so
that it can continue serving scholars and strengthening our community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Tashia Love
