YOLANDA DAVIS-OVERSTREET
Ground Truths Network was founded by a dedicated community leader Yolanda Davis-Overstreet, M.A. Her background in growing regenerative relationships and community organizing around the needs and concerns in communities of color has been organically spreading across our neighborhoods and country over the past ten years.
Yolanda doesn’t operate in a box, or norm – believing in the continuum of evolving in this human experience! She went back to graduate school at 55-years-old and received a Master’s in Urban Sustainability at Antioch University, Los Angeles, in their Urban Sustainability Master’s Program (USMA). During her fieldwork research at Advancement Project CA, Yolanda was instrumental in researching and developing a collective policy agenda around equitable, community-based practices to reduce traffic fatalities in Los Angeles.
