Living in a frontline community in South Los Angeles, Fatima brings with her lived experiences and intersectional advocacy in a frontline community that has struggled with the impacts of environmental racism for far too long. Her activism stemmed from her work as a high school Science teacher in Watts working in a school that has contaminated water and land. Since then, she has grown to be part of numerous local and statewide coalitions and is excited to use her experiences and focus on youth to create communities all across our state that are healthy, livable, and thriving. In her free time, she loves supporting her South LA Robotics team that she founded, crossfitting, watching her favorite TV shows, and spending time with her family, especially her 8-year son.
