Age is deceiving. Many argue that the years one has spent on this earth is the currency in which they use to be able to speak, to be heard. But that is not always the case. Although I am seventeen years deep into the forest of life, I see the forest for the trees. I've been through the thorns of discrimination, self-deprication and bullying. I've reached the peaks of national gymnastics titles, children's book publications and youth mentorship. I am here to lead you through the brush.

My public speaking engagements reflect that. For the youth, I lead seminars at a school that covers my journey to self-love as a young black girl by referencing my mother and my book: I Love My Kinky Hair. I mirrored that experience for business professionals at Natwest Markets in 2019, as I spoke before a crowd discussing my journey as it relates to women's and black issues. I currently have a youtube channel named Working Out The Kinks and participate in my school's debate program.

I wish to expand the love and hope I have for this world. To inspire and lead individuals into loving themselves and those around them. I wish to do whatever it takes so that no individual questions their worth and power. I am versatile in the age of my audience, but I have a special place for, and great experience with, children.
