Sade Perkins
Sade Perkins is a former member of the Houston Food Insecurity Board, appointed by former Mayor Sylvester Turner in 2023. She recently drew significant controversy for her comments on TikTok, where she described Camp Mystic, a Texas summer camp impacted by severe flooding, as a 'Whites-only' camp. Her remarks, which were perceived as racially insensitive, prompted backlash and led to her being informed by Houston Mayor John Whitmire's office that she would not be reappointed to her position on the board. The mayor's office condemned her statements as 'deeply inappropriate,' especially amid the ongoing tragedy and search for missing campers.
