A dreammaker/storyteller/strategist

I grew up in Denver, Colorado and was raised in a village where I was first taught the power of love, community, and chosen family. My passion for service leadership was instilled in me by the matriarchs in my family. They showed me from an early age the proverb “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” (ancestor maya angelou). Through sharing stories and shifting the narrative of what collective liberation looks like- I move people toward a new, better world.

Healing & Health

During my undergraduate career at the University of Denver, I studied Public Policy and Gender & Women’s Studies and was a leader in campus wide initiatives to promote diversity and inclusivity as more than buzz words. I’ve organized rallies, written campus wide-strategic plans, and led workshops on anti-racism and accessible event planning. From my time at DU, I channeled my passion for social justice into the media and digital strategy. I’ve developed digital campaigns and research for pillars of community and innovative organizations including, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Planned Parenthood, Green New Deal Network, and most recently IBM.

In 2022, I was recognized as an ADCOLOR FUTURE for my outstanding work in the marketing and communications industry. Throughout my career, I've honed my skills in digital marketing, communications strategy, and audience research. I’m incredibly lucky to have used my gifts in strategy and research to work alongside inspiring organizations, amplifying their messages, and engaging communities across the nation toward political and social change. Through mentorship and continued community involvement, I am reaching back to teach these skills to rising communications and media professionals.

Joy

I’m incredibly grateful for Soul 2 Soul Sisters and the joy this organization has breathed into mine and my family’s life. As Black women, we know weary and struggle intimately. It can be overwhelming at times to care so deeply for the world and receive less than nothing in return. As Black women, we know love, healing, and joy intimately. Through my work at Soul 2 Soul Sisters I’ve seen a life where my mother, grandmothers, siblings, family, and friends can thrive. I feel the abundance of spirit resurrected in the communities we touch. That is the work my soul is called to do and I wake up each morning in gratitude that I get to work with such an amazing community of folks aligned to save my life.

On a different note- in my role as the Assistant Director of Communications, Marketing and Digital Strategy I leverage my expertise in messaging, digital strategy, and media in alignment with the organization’s goal to lead a love-based revolution. Alongside the organizational wellness and development team at Soul 2 Soul Sisters, I lead the overall communications strategy, public relations, branding, and impact development. It’s a joy to collaborate with this incredible team, and witness the transformative power of our work.

 

If Black beloveds were free, you could find me...

Minding my Black business, soaking up good sun, watching the sunset kiss the horizon, tasting honey on my lips, hearing the waves embrace land.
