Whether you’re looking for a keynote speaker, creative guide, or someone to challenge and inspire your anti-oppression journey, I’m here to help you build meaningful and lasting change.

Together, we’ll dismantle oppressive systems and create spaces where joy, healing, liberation, and belonging thrive.

Why joy, healing, and liberation centered work matters.

Transforming systems of oppression isn’t about quick fixes—it requires a holistic approach that nurtures our capacity for joy, healing, and collective freedom. When we center these values, we create space for transparent, courageous conversations that name oppressive systems at their roots and move us toward deep, intentional, and sustainable change.

I partner with individuals, educators, organizations, and youth to co-create these spaces of honesty, accountability, and care—where we practice reflexivity and liberation in tangible ways.
