Katrina Hobbs Everett

Katrina was born and raised in Haverhill, MA. She is a wife, mother, educator, and business owner who brings her deep faith and experience as a member of a minoritized community demographic to her campaign for Haverhill City Council. Having faced her own struggles to fit into the larger community, Kat has dedicated her career to amplifying the voices of those who are often overlooked and underserved.

Katrina is the Co-Founder of POSE Inc. (Power of Self-Education), a nonprofit whose mission is to inspire people and mobilize resources to strengthen communities. POSE exists to address the social justice and civic engagement needs of the communities it serves. Kat also is the Founder and Curator of COCO Brown, a cultural healing center and co-working space in Haverhill that uses art, music, storytelling and movement to strengthen community relationships and encourage racial, social, and economic equity.

Kat is running for City Council to ensure that every resident of Haverhill is included in the decisions that will affect their futures. Haverhill is a rapidly evolving community consisting of many diverse backgrounds and unique demographic challenges. Her priorities include supporting small businesses, appropriate resourcing of public safety needs, and housing development that meets the needs of residents at all income levels.

If elected, Kat would be the first woman of color to serve on the Haverhill City Council.
