#IAMRIVIERABEACH Marvelous Washington, Candidate for Riviera Beach Council District 3, Ann McNeill D

After reading the book ACRES OF DIAMONDS by Russell Conwell, I am convinced we are all leaving the diamond mines in our own backyards as we travel around the world looking for larger diamonds, when in fact the diamonds we seek are found within us and our hometown, from whence we came. Therefore, we are calling the podcast, #IAMRIVIERABEACH.  Today's Guest: Marvelous WashingtonMarvelous Washington is a native and public servant of the city of Riviera Beach! Born and raised in Riviera Beach to local star athlete Eugene "Baby Gene" Washington and Anne Peterson, she has a special affinity for the city that has raised multiple generations of her family. During her early years, Marvelous not only gained insight into the needs of the community, but she also experienced the benefits of quality youth programming. Marvelous attended the University of Central Florida, where she was a scholarship athlete and a member of the academic All-Conference Team. This led Marvelous to return to her beloved city of Riviera Beach. She has used her knowledge, skills, passion, and love to serve and uplift the city for 16 years.Marvelous has worked in government, served in nonprofits, a variety of community agencies such as the West Palm Beach Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., and the city of Riviera Beach Community Development Corporation. While her work history shows an array of administrators and budgeting skills, extensive training, knowledge of city codes and ordinances, and many awards, what really matters to Marvelous are the people of her city.Connect with Ms. Washington: 561-714-2474Call into the podcast dial 661-554-9219.
