Becoming a writer truly opened my eyes to the power of story. Before becoming a writer, I had a story but I wasn’t the one writing it. The literal and figurative action of picking up the pen is when things changed for me. I’m an educator turned entrepreneur. I had a successful career in education working with NYC public schools and decided I wanted to work for myself. I have founded a number of companies and am currently the CEO of BirthWrite Consulting, a company specializing in all things writing and founder of The Educator’s Promise, a nonprofit organization focused on education equity. A woman of many ideas, my first passion is in writing. My book, "Jewels From a Black Diamond" is a collection of life lessons, words of wisdom and things learned along the journey to self discovery. It reflects on struggles with confidence, toxic relationships, faith, and the power of self love. My hope is that the reader finds the courage to always see and choose themselves, no matter who else doesn't. My 2nd book, “No Saving Me for Later” is about putting your focus back on you and making the steps to be your best self. No waiting, no complaining, no blaming. I speak to my journey as a Black woman and the obstacles I had to overcome even with degrees from both Howard & Harvard University. Many of the obstacles being what I was taught to believe about myself through past trauma and self-doubt. I lost it all and gained more back. The book is meant to inspire, heal and motivate people to live life with purpose.
