Tunisha joined Capalino following a long career as a Political + Community organizer, where she worked with a number of faith-based communities and communities of color that needed technical assistance with navigating government. She was the first African American woman to serve in the role of Executive Director of the New York State Senate Conference of Black Senators.

From her role with the New York State Senate Democrats, Tunisha later received an appointment from Governor Andrew Cuomo to become an Affirmative Action Administrator for the NYS Department of Labor – Division of Equal Opportunity Development.

In 2015, Tunisha launched the MWBE Consulting Group for Capalino to help businesses and MWBEs comply with City and State regulations to successfully secure government contracts. She is responsible for creating an MWBE Directory to connect MWBE and Non-MWBE companies together as primes and subcontractors for City and State goal requirements. In addition, she assists minority companies in navigating through the MWBE certification process and helps non-MWBEs understand the current regulations.
