My philosophy and its purpose rest on the belief that stories can shift consciousness and mindsets, and that historical storytelling helps people connect more deeply with their humanity and that of others. From here, it is a short step to reframing systems of solidarity and power more clearly.
My focus begins with the Foremothers, particularly those whose stories have been erased or neglected: researching them, tending to their memories, sharing and celebrating their lives, and lifting their stories up as levers for activation and a more just world. Through this storytelling, I center Black, Brown, Asian, and Indigenous women, not as side notes but as essential spirit-mothers whose lives widen our sense of who matters, what courage can both look like and achieve, and how solidarity might actually feel like, in truth. My invitation is to join a circle of wisdom-seekers who value empathy, truth-telling, celebration, enchantment, and the possibility of a more hopeful shared humanity.
The other arc of my work is to help people carry those activations into their own lives. Through Brave Sis Project and the Solidarity Lab, I create pathways that move people from inspiration to reflection, from reflection to action, and from action to sustained solidarity practice in their communities and institutions. As a writer, I build the narrative and meaning-making foundation; as a founder and leader, I translate that foundation into brave-space containers, tools, and shared praxes that help people —including those formerly in the “DEI” space — sustain and revel in the work with integrity. My goal is to foster a more connected, loving, and liberated world.
