I am dedicated to my community, having spent my entire career in the non-profit sector. I have focused on youth, families, reproductive justice, and people who have experienced violence. I center my work on the most marginalized. This has been kids in foster care, the Black community, youth with disAbilities, and LGBTQIA+ people of all ages.
I embody the legacy of the griot and the spirit of Sojourner Truth. I use storytelling to do transformative resistance work. I am a caregiver, preach, testify, publicly protest, and hold the pain of my community. I honor relationships, recognize one's social location, and acknowledge this work must be intersectional.
