As a real estate attorney and longtime president of her civic association, Ms. Parham has chosen to focus her pro bono legal services on helping create affordable housing in gentrifying neighborhoods. She is also passionate about the intersection of racial reconciliation and faith, through both her personal relationships and through engaging in citywide efforts to bring about equity and justice. A SCUBA diver and former Ultimate Frisbee enthusiast permanently sidelined by injury, she now seeks out new adrenaline-inducing adventures.
