She/Her

A strategic visionary and purpose-driven leader dedicated to amplifying the voices and impact of those at society’s margins.

I come from a people who turned survival into sanctuary. Raised in Miami, Florida, I was shaped by my family’s migration story and by the daily lessons taught inside The Richard Family Dry Cleaners, the small business my Haitian father built. What looked like a dry cleaner to the outside world was, for our community, a place of refuge—where resources were shared, bills were figured out together, and dignity was protected in the face of anti-Black, anti-immigrant, and anti-poor conditions.

My family—especially the Black women who carried faith, responsibility, and care without fanfare—showed me that leadership doesn’t always have a title. It looks like showing up, staying rooted, and choosing community even when the systems around you are designed to fail you. They inspire me to believe, deeply, that when people are resourced and trusted, they will always create what they need.

What was your career/healing/soul journey to get here? 

My journey has always lived at the intersection of spirit, systems, and justice. I’ve spent over a decade working inside nonprofits, institutions, and policy spaces—supporting organizations through moments of transformation and helping move resources toward communities most impacted. From higher education to healthcare to public policy, I’ve seen up close how power operates—and how it can be reimagined.

Along the way, I pursued formal theological training, earning a Master of Divinity at Yale University, not because I was interested in the church as an institution, but because I was committed to liberation as sacred work. My healing journey has been about reclaiming my wholeness in spaces that often demand fragmentation—learning to trust my intuition, honor my lineage, and let spirit lead instead of hustle.

Soul 2 Soul meets me at the convergence of everything I’ve lived, studied, questioned, and prayed through. It is a place where my political analysis, spiritual practice, and womanist commitments are not just welcomed—but required.

We are called to do the work our Souls must have. How does Soul 2 Soul Sisters meet you where you are called?

Soul 2 Soul Sisters meets me in my calling to cultivate spaces where Black women can remember themselves—beyond productivity, beyond survival, beyond respectability. It aligns with my belief that liberation is not only structural, but spiritual; not only collective, but deeply personal.

My role at Soul 2 Soul is to bring structure to spirit and spirit to structure. I breathe life into my work by grounding vision in care, by holding systems with tenderness, and by ensuring that what we build is sustainable without sacrificing soul. I lead with clarity, faith, and a deep trust in Black women’s wisdom—creating containers where healing, strategy, rest, and joy can coexist.

This work is not about saving anyone. It’s about remembering, resourcing, and returning home to ourselves—together.

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

If Black beloveds were free, you could find me somewhere between the mountains and the altar—breathing deeply, laughing loudly, and moving at the speed of my spirit. I’d be walking without urgency, building without burnout, and loving without armor. You’d find me tending community, honoring ancestors, and making room for beauty, rest, and possibility—knowing, finally, that we made it.
