I was born in Washington, D.C. and from a very early age I had a passion for education. I attended Spelman College to pursue a career in teaching where I also became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. In 2009, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in child development and joined Teach for America: allowing me the opportunity to give back by teaching at Anacostia Senior High School in Southeast, Washington, D.C.
I decided to advance my career, so I began graduate school and completed my Master of Education at George Mason University in 2011.
While everything looked great on the outside, the ending of a relationship triggered extreme anxiety and depression: leading to several psychotic breaks. I completed my master’s degree in the psych ward. I never thought something like this could happen to me, but it did. I continued to spiral downward mentally and journeyed through three additional psych wards and two suicide attempts.
After experiencing the lows of life, I was inspired to write my first book in 2014, He Wasn’t My Daddy: My Road to Restoration and Redemption. I did speaking engagements and interviews to help women heal from generational trauma caused by their father’s absence. Though I lost my desire to teach in the classroom, I found a new joy in uplifting women and giving them the tools to take control of their mental health and wellness.
Needless to say: I’ve been where you have been and I’ve seen what you have seen. I want you to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
We go through so much, so I wanted to create an escape for us where we could be renewed on the inside and on the outside.
