Words are where I make meaning, find myself, and help other people see themselves, too. I love a story with texture. I love a line that hits you in the chest. I love shaping a moment when the truth finally stands up.
I am a writer, a mother, a daughter, a daydreamer, a talk-to-me-nice visionary, and someone who believes that imagination is a survival skill. I bring all of that into the rooms I enter. I am here to move creativity forward without losing the softness and soul that make it worth doing in the first place.
I have scripted, built brand voices, written stories for families and artists, and helped bring ideas to life from my laptop to set. But what I care about most is how the work feels when it lands. Does it touch someone? Does it sound like us? Does it carry truth?
I am committed to writing stories that show Black culture in all its complexity and light. I care about the interior world, the human story, and the tiny details that make us who we are. I want to build with people who value depth and joy as much as they value deadlines.
And when I am not writing, I am outside getting lost in conversation with my daughter and my boxer, collecting memories, laughter, and little moments that eventually make their way back onto the page.
I write to remember.
I write to heal.
I write to imagine what is possible.
And I am only getting started.
