As a child, I felt the cries of my ancestors in my body. I didn’t have language for it then,  only a pulse in my solar plexus, an ache in my stomach I couldn’t name.

I remember always going to the nurse with a stomachache. My mother taking me to doctors. Tests, questions, waiting rooms. And no one ever finding anything wrong.

But something was trying to move through me. My body was holding memory before my mind could understand it. My solar plexus was speaking. Teaching me about power, survival, and what happens when your will is shaped inside systems that don’t hold your truth.

It was the story of my ancestors living in my body, looking for my awakening.

I am Afro-Indigenous, a fourth-generation descendant of chattel slavery. I carry echoes of revolution, healing, rupture, creativity, and joy in my body,  in my gut, in my breath, in the way I trust what I feel before what I’m told.

My work is shaped by intergenerational memory, grief and celebration. By knowing that healing is never only personal, and never only mine.

For more than fifteen years, I have held spaces for reflection, truth-telling, and transformation. For more than seven years, I have walked alongside artists, healers, and purpose-driven leaders as they reclaim their inner authority and build lives rooted in values, not extraction.

Everything I create is guided by one question:

How do we live whole-listically and communally inside systems that were never built for our wholeness?

Through living that question, I have come to know: story heals.

Story is how we return to the body, remember our power, and trust the intelligence that has always lived in our gut. It is the thread that ties ancestry to the present, grief to celebration, and personal truth to collective memory.

I am a storyteller across mediums:

• Speaking and facilitation

• Podcasting

• Writing and Substack

• Authorship

• Interviewing and weaving conversations

My storytelling lives at the intersection of the spiritual and the political, the personal and the communal. It invites curiosity, accountability, surrender, and love, creating space for remembrance, insight, and transformation.
