She was the first Latina and religious educator elected to the UUA Board of Trustees, serving as Trustee, Financial Secretary, and Secretary of the Association. In 2017 Chris co-created the #UUWhiteSupremacyTeachIn with religious educators Aisha Hauser and Kenny Wiley. In 2019 she received the Mel Hoover Award from DRUUMM and in 2020 the UUA’s Angus MacLean Award for Excellence in Religious Education.

In 2018, Chris founded Called to Justice (CTJ), a consulting group focused on impactful leadership development for UUs committed to justice ministries. Called to Justice’s goal is to develop lasting relationships with organizations and support them as they move deeper into understanding how white supremacy culture impacts their organization.

CTJ specializes in assessing the organization, co-creating effective plans for transforming systems, while coaching the leadership team through the process. CTJ has provided equity assessments, skill building, and implementation programs for congregations, churches, non-profits, and organizations both large and small. Additionally, CTJ offers coaching as accountability partnership for individuals and teams.

Chris has the faith of her husband and sons who, along with her ancestors, form the foundation for her call to justice.
