My name is Christina Alexis Wiggins, and I’m proud to step forward as a candidate for library trustee. I bring with me a wealth of experience in community advocacy, creative outreach, and educational empowerment. Recently, I discovered that my middle name means “defender” or “fighter”—and I believe that meaning perfectly reflects the work I’ve done, and the work I intend to continue. I’ve always stood up for others, for access to knowledge, and for the kind of equity that libraries represent.
Over the years, I’ve led and supported several impactful community projects:
• I helped lead a creative outreach initiative known as the “Hand Sanitizer Project” for a political campaign, distributing home made sanitizer during Covid to promote public health and civic engagement.
• I designed and launched the “Thank You for Your Donation” reels campaign for Imprint Universe, highlighting recipients through engaging video content and building stronger community ties for the business.
• I crafted a social media campaign to raise awareness for Ally Bee Kozy Kitchen’s Cultural Center, amplifying its mission and connecting more people to its cultural and educational services.
• As a founding member of Elevate 518, I helped create a platform focused on uplifting the Capital Region through advocacy, collaboration, and the arts.
• In my broader community work, I’ve consistently educated people on financial literacy, tax preparation, and worker rights, helping individuals and families make informed decisions about their lives and livelihoods.
What drives me is a desire to share—to share knowledge, tools, stories, and space. That’s what libraries do. They offer themselves to the community with open doors and open minds. I believe my skills, my commitment to equity, and my passion for education will make me an excellent trustee.
Let’s share the future—together.
