One person. Many worlds.
All connected.
Everything I make begins with one question:
Can this make someone’s life better?
I’ve wanted to be a superhero for as long as I can remember. In elementary school I defended my classmates from bullies. In high school I wrote short stories about a spacefaring crime-fighting team, and as a young adult I volunteered in my community trying to help make people’s lives better.
I’m still not a superhero. Radioactive spider notwithstanding, I’ve spent my adult life trying to use whatever skills I have to make things better for people who need it. Pairing this with my love of pretty things, I have spent over two decades shaping how brands look, feel, and communicate, from food websites to global foundations, nonprofits fighting for land rights to digital healthcare startups. Somewhere in all of that, it shaped how I see people.
Through all of this defending and designing, my first passion was always writing. I am a storyteller at heart. Sometimes long-winded. But always deliberate.
I want to use my skills to empower people with knowledge, support people’s aspirations for growth, and be part of the change I’d like to see in the world. That looks different depending on the day.
The Full Picture
The Griot’s Table is a Black history book series: 365 daily stories designed to bring African and African American history to life for families in ten minutes a day. I am writing a science fiction novel series rooted in my experience with chronic illness. I write horror. I write for children. I am endlessly curious about mythology, anthropology, history, and the stories that shape how we understand ourselves.
This site is not a portfolio. It is not a personal brand in the traditional sense. It is a window into a person who creates across many worlds simultaneously and believes that the most interesting work happens at the intersections, between advocacy and art, between history and science fiction, between personal experience and universal truth.
You are welcome to all of it.
