I was born and raised in Baltimore; a city that shaped me with equal parts grit, brilliance, and contradiction. I have lived in a few places that never fully felt like home and carried stories that didn’t belong to me. It took years to understand that I wasn’t supposed to fit anywhere; that I was meant to build the world I needed. The Pink Thread, my writing, my work with women — all of it is me creating the home I never found but always deserved.

As stated before, I have rebuilt myself many times. Motherhood softened and sharpened me. Faith steadied me. Therapy made makes me honest. Baltimore gave me my fire. And Black and brown women give me purpose through our humor, our resilience, our sensuality, our intelligence, our ache, our beauty. My work is for us. It’s for women who have had to be strong in moments that should’ve allowed them softness.

For women healing lineage and learning boundaries.

For women who know they are meant for more but need a place to land while becoming.

I am currently completing my Master of Social Work & Master of Education in Human Sexuality, specializing in intimacy, trauma recovery, and the emotional landscapes of Black women. I serve as an intern at House of Ruth Maryland, working with individuals rebuilding their lives after intimate harm. At the heart of my academic and creative work is, "The Psychological Architecture of Black Intimacy." A beginning dissertation exploring the ways we love, connect, protect ourselves, and rise again. Everything I do is an offering to the women I come from and the women walking toward themselves now.
