Monica Walker didn’t plan to make Greensboro home. But more than 22 years later, she’s still here—because she found something worth staying for. A city full of promise. A community with deep roots. People who show up for each other. That’s what keeps her fighting for District 2 every day.

 

From her first days in Greensboro as a visiting lecturer at Guilford College to her years as the founding Executive Director of the Guilford County Schools Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Monica has never stopped advocating for justice, opportunity, and investment in every part of the city. Since retiring in 2017, her work hasn’t slowed. She’s been on the ground—building leadership, chairing neighborhood associations, pushing for equitable policy, and staying rooted where it matters most.

 

Monica is more than a candidate. She’s a mother, a neighbor, a grandmother, and a leader who’s been doing the work. For nearly two decades, she’s lived and served in the neighborhoods of Southeast Greensboro, not just talking about change but driving it.

 

Her Leadership Is Built on Action:

• Senior Leader & Advisor, Racial Equity Institute

• Partner, Groundwater Institute

• Chair, Precinct 69 – Guilford County Democratic Party

• Member, Greensboro Board of Adjustment (Alternate)

• President, Gorrell Street Neighborhood Association

• Founding Member, Guilford Anti-Racist Alliance

• Member, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

 

Monica is proud of the legacy she’s built—and she’s not done yet. Now, she’s ready to bring that same passion and experience to City Council, where real decisions get made.

 

“This campaign is more than politics—it’s about people. Real lives. Real neighborhoods. A future we can build together.”

 

Monica’s fight is personal. This election will be the first time her granddaughter gets to vote. And like every grandparent who dreams of a better world for the next generation, Monica is stepping up—to reimagine what’s possible.
