Esther has been a community builder in Ottawa since she was 19 and has had a passion for social justice and community advocacy particularly for marginalized and racialized communities. Esther has extensive experience facilitating community conversations surrounding gender-based violence, sexual health, drug education, harm reduction and survivor advocacy. Esther is the founder and current executive director at Project Agape, a Black survivor-led organization that supports Black individuals who have experienced violence. 


Esther believes in education that is built on an intersectional lens, is trauma-informed, meets community members where they are and encourages collective growth and learning. She believes that we are all producers of knowledge as much as we are receivers, particularly in situations where we have lived experiences, our voices matter in the work being done and stories being told.
