Influences and inspiration
My work is shaped by lived experience rather than performance training. Growing up in a multicultural, multiracial family, and walking through trauma, broken relationships, addiction, and faith-based healing shaped both my voice and my message. At some point, it became time to place my voice alongside my pen and speak what I had only written.
My speaking is also shaped by women and diverse, multicultural groups I’ve walked alongside—those navigating silence, resilience, and recovery. Through keynotes such as Breaking the Silence, I share stories that gently open the door to healing, faith-based hope, and honest conversation.
