Ms. Electra A. Holmes is an emerging public leader whose work spans public administration, constituent affairs, communications, education, and civic engagement. With an early interest in communications and philanthropy, Electra graduated from CUNY–Medgar Evers College with an Associate in Mass Communications and a Bachelor of Science in Public Administration (Law & Public Policy).

The publication has become a cornerstone of her communications work and leadership identity.

Her dedication to public service expanded significantly in 2020 when she answered the call during the COVID-19 relief efforts in Far Rockaway, helping distribute food to families in need.
