Shané Darby

Shané was born and raised in the 2nd district, to an immigrant Jamaican mother and step-father. From a very tender age, she has been outspoken and passionate about inequities in the world ranging from race, politics, animals, and the environment and always explored options to finding solutions to improving people’s lives.

After graduating with a master’s degree from Temple University, Shané made a conscious decision to move back here and become a homeowner in the same neighborhood she grew up in. She wants her children to grow up and go to school in the 2nd district. She also wants her children to know that it is their responsibilitiy to fight and challenge systems to make change in their community.
