I believe that our deepest struggles can become our greatest contributions. Having navigated the realities of the jail system, housing instability, and the long journey through mental health recovery, I speak for those who have felt unheard or dismissed by the world. I translate the lessons I learned in the shadows into actionable light, offering a voice to the oppressed and a hand to those still searching for their way out. My mission is to shift the conversation from “surviving” to “thriving,” using my personal history as a testament to the power of radical perseverance and the unwavering strength of the human spirit.

Beyond my lived experience, I focus on the practical application of hope and the “what’s next” rather than just the “what happened.” My talks center on navigating grief with grace and reclaiming one’s identity after a systemic collapse, providing audiences with a blueprint for personal reclamation. I am on a mission to ensure that no one’s potential is discarded because of their past, and I work to provide a professional perspective on how we can dismantle barriers to success. I am here to remind us all that our voices are our most potent tools for change and that our history is a platform, not a prison.
