This past 5 years has been a journey. I'm grateful for the spaces and communities that contributed to this transition to life beyond academia.
I had a plan. I pivoted. I had a new plan. That changed. Then, I started allowing my passion, knowledge, and experiences to guide me to my calling.
I feel called to create safe and sacred spaces for Black women to access their liberation through my writing, workshops, and speaking.
I'm always appreciative of the energy Black women bring to the spaces. I come from a plethora of magical and phenomenal Black women. When I write, gather, and speak, I am honoring my ancestors and the women who were silenced, shamed, and denied pleasure.
I couldn't find an exact model of the type of work that fits my knowledge, experiences, and passion...so I created it 💫💫💫
I look forward to continuing the journey, building community, and entering spaces I never even imagined being in.
I love would love to connect if you want to co-create a writing piece or event. I'm available for speaking and consulting opportunities 📢

I’m bringing the Hot Girl Movement to California State University, Stanislaus on March 24 in Turlock, CA!! 🔥
Hot Girl Movement as Praxis: Reclaiming Pleasure, Power, and Collective Liberation 💫
✨ Pleasure as political
✨ Embodiment as resistance
✨ Joy as collective power
