Oshuteiya (Teiya) represented tenants in Liberty City, a historically black neighborhood in the City of Miami with significant poverty, by preventing evictions and enforcing their right to safe and habitable housing as the community copes with redevelopment.
Liberty City is a historically black neighborhood in Miami. Forty-seven percent of residents live below the poverty line, many in horrible conditions. Liberty Square, one of the oldest public housing developments in America, is undergoing redevelopment. This place-based project has served residents in Liberty City by obtaining valuable protections for residents at risk of displacement, holding weekly community outreach meetings and establishing a Legal Services intake site in Liberty City.
During the two-year Fellowship period, Teiya:
Teiya remains committed to community-centered work that positively impacts the Black community.

My Equal Justice Works Fellowship has afforded me the opportunity to serve Liberty City, a low-income community of color in Miami, Florida. As a woman of color from a low-income background, I'm honored and very proud that my work impacts those with whom I identify.
