Stepping Into the Spotlight

On September 24, 2025, I had the opportunity to share my story on FOX 5 Atlanta as part of a growing movement to hold abusive HOAs accountable. What started as a personal battle with my neighborhood association has now reached the state level — and the news.

My HOA Nightmare, Exposed

For over a year, I’ve faced:

  • A board that refuses to hold fair elections.

  • Lack of transparency with HOA finances.

  • Retaliation, fines, and harassment for simply speaking up.

Despite countless emails, open records requests, and formal complaints, there was no real oversight — until now. FOX 5 Atlanta covered my story and others in their report on the Georgia Senate’s investigation into HOA abuses.

This coverage was a breakthrough — not just for me, but for homeowners across Georgia who have been silenced and ignored.

Real Change is Coming

The Georgia Senate is now listening. A subcommittee has been formed to probe HOA misconduct, and I’m proud to be a voice in that conversation.

But this is only the beginning. Here’s what I’m still fighting for:

  • Mandatory state audits of HOA finances

  • A fair election process with third-party oversight

  • A homeowner ombudsman or enforcement agency in Georgia

We deserve better. We deserve protection. And I will not stop until we have it.

Join the Movement
