With nearly 30 years of experience with racism and 400+ years of trauma that’s been passed down into my very DNA, I know exactly what racism is. I know how it impacts Black folx. I know how it is ingrained in every fabric of thiscountry’s very being. I also know how to combat it, tear it out. I know how to burn it out of existence.  

I am a Black woman who has experienced racial trauma from the day I was born, experienced it within the very reaches of my soul. I have inherited the racial trauma through DNA from my ancestors, who were enslaved African people from several parts of Africa. I’ve spent years studying, researching, and crafting conversations regarding race. I’ve shouldered the burden of labor – emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Healing remains a spurious hope, a fanciful dream, yet something I actively seek and relentlessly endeavor to attain.  

I follow this path toward healing by way of my anti-racism consulting firm, The Blackful, my Project Snow Storm, which is anti-racism training in action, providing Black children and families education services who would otherwise not have options with my nonprofit organization C.A.L.I. and by lifting up and giving to Black women/femmes and children through my nonprofit organization, Black Women Lead: The Black Femme Fund. I am educator with years of experience and three degrees -- two undergraduate degrees in early childhood education and a Master’s degree in Special Education. I dedicate my life to giving Black children access to high quality education. I know the importance of education. I know how that can change a child’s entire situation, perspective, and outcome. I am a mother, a wife, a sista girl…  

I am a warrior for my people.
