Sandy’Ci brings over 20 years of experience in community organizing and engagement, performing arts, and real estate management.
As a Hmong-American raised in St. Paul’s Frogtown and East side, she has connected with over 50,000 Minnesotans - especially BIPOC, low-income, formerly incarcerated, and/or refugee/immigrant communities - on issues like domestic violence, media racism, government resources, racial equity, police brutality, and voting rights.
Her leadership roles include serving as a State Commissioner on Out-of-School-Time Programming, Voices for Racial Justice Fellow, Creative Community Leadership Institute Fellow, Wellstone Fellow, YouthCARE MN Board Member, and a member of St. Paul’s Renter Ordinance Committee.
She has ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), a concussion-related brain injury, and C-PTSD. Sandy’Ci now manages over 15 symptoms.
As an Inclusion Consultant, Sandy’Ci is humbled and excited to contribute her professional skills and her lived experience to help shape a more inclusive, representative Olmstead Plan—especially for adults like her, who acquired disabilities later in life or don’t regard themselves as disabled.
