The Awakened Mother Podcast: Roxanne Hoge

My guest, Roxanne Beckford Hoge, is a mama, entrepreneur, and candidate for a seat on the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors.

Roxanne Beckford was born in Kingston, Jamaica. She emigrated from the island in the late 70s, graduated from boarding school in South Florida, and from Davidson College with a degree in Psychology in 1986. After working in public and community relations in Miami for Citibank and the Rouse Company, she arrived in Southern California in the late 80s to become a working actor. She has done that now for almost thirty years, starting out playing Whitley's cousin on A Different World and continuing to appear in television and movie roles even while marrying her husband and having and raising four children.

"I cannot imagine living anywhere other than Los Angeles," says the community activist and volunteer. When LA's children and businesses were sacrificed over the past two years, while vulnerable seniors and our homeless population were ignored and all of us felt the rise in crime, we all looked to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, and found most of them completely lacking."

Her work to help connect disaffected parents and question political leadership led to a profile in Bari Weiss' Common Sense.
