Eneka D.

The path that led me here to Altadena was like my second home. My grandparents lived

there for all of my childhood and beyond. I spent years in the community.

Why This Work Matters

Helping the community that my grandparents loved means a lot to me. Because they were a big

part of my life.

On culturally responsive care: Basically helping your neighbors.

Connection to Altadena

Most of my childhood memories started at thrifty on Lake.

Meaningful tradition: Marigold ave was my second home.

A Defining Moment

My aunt lost her house and so much of our family's history was burned.

Vision for the Future

My hope for Altadena: I honestly want it to go back to what it was. The people are able to still

live in Altadena. I know some people would rather sell and move on.

What I hope families feel: I hope they realize they aren't alone.

Bringing to the Work

Strengths: I'm a fast learner and a really good person.

On collaboration: It's my way of helping a community that I was a part of growing up.

Beyond the Work

What brings me joy: I love most sports, video games, movies and travelling.

Favorite genres: Comedy

When not volunteering: I run my own mobile notary/ loan signing business.

Fun fact: I love comic books.

Words I live by: "Fight on."
