Connecting with communities is at the core of what I do. Having the privilege to speak to groups on a large scale and share my experiences ignites my purpose. My journey across industries has been a series of learning, exploration, lessons, failures and comebacks. And sharing those meaningful stories and pointed knowledge only helps pave the way for others. Let’s grow, together.
This annual lecture series brings together forward-thinking and innovative speakers to tackle some of the most challenging cultural issues of the moment. I was handpicked to headline the 2022 iteration, What Now? Alongside a community of inspired womxn, I challenged the audience to explore new perspectives and deeply examine how we can work better—and live better—together.

Me @ Your Event
Getting to where I am today demanded a lot of blood, sweat and tears. But one thing you won’t catch me doing is gatekeeping. I have a deep-seated obligation to share my lessons and increase access for people who need it most. Every speaking engagement is another opportunity for my know-how to resonate with someone and change their life for the better. I speak at conferences, meetings, corporate events, training sessions, creative workshops and more. My expertise includes:
Public speaking training and strategy
Media training and public relations
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and the Black experience
Acting, talent management and production
Creative expression through art: storytelling, visual art, writing and more
