Never hiding behind a keyboard, but motivated by her selfless convictions to advance freedom and equality. Mallory is a peerless, streetwise lightning bolt for freedom, justice and equality. The title of her first book STATE OF EMERGENCY is a reflective masterpiece born from the urgent declaration she made in the opening of her speech during the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis.
