welcome to
Here, you'll find my published works such as my anthology collection— thought-provoking works that explore mental wellness, cultural awareness, and social justice. Each piece is crafted to spark conversation, foster understanding, and create meaningful change.
Beyond the pages, I am committed to advocacy and impact. As a consultant, coach, and speaker, I provide guidance and expertise to individuals and organizations seeking to navigate issues of equity, inclusion, and mental wellness. Whether you’re looking to book a dynamic speaker, receive coaching, or need a dedicated advocate for Special Education PPT meetings, IEP reviews, 504 meetings, or Manifestation hearings, I’m here to help.
This space is more than a website—it’s a movement. Let’s connect, learn, and create change together.
Welcome. You belong here.
