Leadership!

Allow me to do something you rarely see on social media…be transparent.

I feel that it is important that I acknowledge the rollout of the downtown project proposal could have been handled better. I see now that we didn’t communicate early or clearly enough about the vision, the parking plan, or how this fits into the bigger picture for downtown. And the timing with the construction was terrible. That’s on me.

I know I have blind spots, after all I am only human. I’m grateful to those who’ve cared enough to speak up — even though it’s been hard to hear. Your voices matter.

At the same time, I still believe there’s real potential here. This project could bring meaningful investment, new energy, and confidence in our downtown’s future. But it has to work for everyone — our merchants, our visitors, and our residents.

So, I am asking that we take a step back together. I’m committed to working on a compromise that protects what we love about downtown while allowing Mansfield to keep growing. I have built my whole career around finding common ground, and believe there may be a solution here.

Leadership means listening, learning, and sometimes adjusting course — and that’s exactly what I intend to do. ❤️

Yesterday while visiting Shiloh Baptist Church… something beautiful happened.

Debbie Holt was leaving morning service when she heard a voice behind her
“Ms. Debbie?”

She turned around and saw one of her Cookies and Milk Project girls “Alana” from nearly a decade ago
Once quiet and unsure
Now a confident young woman walking in purpose

That’s what The Cookies and Milk Project has always been about
Launched in 2014, it began as a safe space where girls could talk, grow, and be reminded that they are worthy
Cookies, journaling, storytelling, and sisterhood

But times changed, and so did the vision
Girls were stepping into a world driven by technology, yet often left out of it
So Debbie evolved the mission

Now entering its next chapter as Cookies and Milk Project X, while passing the mantel the program collaborates with OfGeneration a growing tech entity to blend mentorship with hands-on experiences in AI, creativity, and ethical tech

It’s still about confidence
It’s still about voice and vision
But now, it’s also about access, innovation, and creating futures in spaces where girls have been overlooked

Ms. McKnight hugged her
A quiet moment
A full-circle reminder of why this work matters

Ten years in and just getting started
Cookies and Milk Project X is building strong girls who are ready to lead, code, create, and mentor the next generation
