Joy Hollingsworth
Joy was born and raised in Seattle’s Central District, a neighborhood her family has called home since the 1940’s. The product of a long line of educators and civil rights leaders, Joy's mother spent her career connecting vulnerable neighbors with housing options, while her father worked for equity in South Seattle as a longtime Parks Department employee, and her grandmother, Dorothy Hollingsworth, was a fierce advocate for families and opportunity.
