CV
Professional Summary
I am a Racial Justice and Racial Equity content designer and facilitator. My work over the last decade has entered the spaces of local community organizers, businesses exploring how they think of their commitment to racial equity, foundations seeking to better understand their role in empowering communities and young people figuring out how to be responsible global citizens. When I am not educating on systemic inequity and racial justice, I am a passionate voice for the empowerment of women and girls.
Currently, my work is focused on organizational change emphasizing racially just oriented outcomes and some managerial advising requests based on availability and interest. Due to an increase in client demand and limited capacity due to covid-19, potential clients should be prepared for scheduling 3-6 months out depending on the request.
