ABOUT

Hi! Welcome to my page. If you're here, you've likely already encountered me in some capacity whether it be in person, through a mutual friend, The Afterwords Show or some other means of networking. You probably already know a little bit about me, but here's some more:

​​

I am a proud Buffalo, New York native and a multifaceted practitioner in the fields of communications, end-of-life care, wellness, and justice reform.  I am a certified death doula, funeral celebrant, trauma-informed care facilitator, life coach, and mindfulness and meditation practitioner. I currently serve as a Juvenile Justice Policy Advisor for the City of New Orleans, where I bring nearly a decade of experience in nonprofit leadership, government, and justice reform.

​

I hold degrees in Communications, Media, Film and Political Science from Howard University and Nonprofit Management and Public Administration from Buffalo State University. I proudly sit on the educational committee of the Louisiana-Mississippi Hospice & Palliative Care Organization, advocating for more culturally centered, holistic end-of-life care.

​

Following the loss of my father, I founded a nonprofit organization offering trauma-informed, holistic services such as yoga, meditation, and group healing for youth and adults. This deeply personal experience catalyzed my own healing and spiritual journey and continues to guide my mission: to support others in rebuilding after loss and navigating life’s most difficult transitions.

​

I recently launched The Afterwords, a podcast and consulting agency dedicated to helping people memorialize their lives, legacies, and loved ones through intentional conversation and storytelling. As a transition specialist, I'm able to help individuals move through grief, identity shifts, and personal transformation, empowering them to reimagine life on the other side of loss.

​

My work is deeply rooted in values of culture, spirituality, and restoration, reflecting a commitment to mindfulness, cultural competence, trauma-informed care, and community healing. Whether in policy, practice, or direct service, I remain devoted to creating space for dignity, remembrance, and renewal.

​

I believe in the transformative powers of land healing and addressing past traumas for future success. That is why I take special pleasure in helping others craft their goals, shape their personal narrative and tell their stories.
