I am a daughter, sister, friend, poet, organizer, and life learner. In the last year I have performed at Millions March Texas, Black Excellence fundraiser event put on my Sonya Richard-Ross and husband Aaron Ross, and Neo-Soul Poetry night.

I am a motivational speaker I have given motivational speeches to young girls in Child Protective Services, and at risk youth in Wilmington, North Carolina.

I am passionate about inspiring others to embrace being the change they want to see. There's more to life than our own self victories. I have been giving motivational speeches for the last four years, and performing poetry for the last eight.

I am a woman who loves women, and I express that in my poetry, and when I share my story in order to motivate others. I am a walking intersection and I use my voice to speak out on all the injustices facing all marginalized communities.
