An officer in the Chicago Garvey Club in the 1920s and early 1930s, she served as a delegate to the 1929 and 1934 conventions in Kingston and the 1937 and 1938 UNIA convention in Toronto. She was among those chosen by Garvey to participate in the "School of African Philosophy" sessions he taught for a small group following the 1937 convention." (The Marcus Garvey and U.N.I.A.
