She received her education in the Baltimore City Schools and continued her education at Catonsville Community College.

Selma was very active in several organizations, Out 4 Justice, Black Lives Matter to name a few. She had a very big heart when it came to family, but a even bigger heart when it came to the homeless and people in need. She would always volunteer to hand out meals, masks, sanitizer, whatever she could do to help others. She felt there should be more programs to get people off the streets. She mentioned an idea she had of adopting a homeless person; she felt if people could take this task on, this could help bring homelessness to an end.
