Kerra Dukes (she/her/hers) benefited from many nonprofits in Baltimore while she was growing up. This shaped her and ensured she would never forgot where she came from and be that person she was blessed enough to have been. So when she first learned about Baltimore’s Promise’s Community Advisory Board, she knew this was the right time to have a hand in shaping Baltimore’s youth.

Kerra is a Baltimore native who graduated from Western High School. She is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Public Policy and plans to get her Master’s degree in Public Health. Her career aspirations are to work in the public health field and healthcare advocacy.

As one of eight children, she hopes to help cultivate a better Baltimore for her younger brothers.
