author:  Alicia D McKay 
description: Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Alicia McKay has always envisioned a better world for her community and her family. She has been involved in a number of activities and community volunteer efforts, including those through the Church of Christ, Capuchin Soup Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity and the Detroit Coalition on Temporary Shelter. She is currently working with New Ability Wellness Center Inc., a nonprofit organization in Metro Detroit to promote fitness for the disabled population.
