I offer a holistic and identity-affirming mentorship experience geared toward radical self-discovery, community-building, and sustainable leadership.
Mentorship, for me, isn’t just about career advice—it’s about co-creating a liberatory path that honors your identities, passions, and vision for social change.
Safe & Affirming Space: As a Black, queer, trans nonbinary person, I deeply understand the hurdles that systemic marginalizations can create—especially for first-generation students or emerging leaders.
Informed by Experience & Scholarship: Grounded in my academic background (Urban Education Leadership, Counseling Psychology, Cultural Studies) and years of grassroots advocacy.
Empowering & Growth-Focused: Mentorship is rooted in the belief that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to listen, challenge, and amplify your personal agency.
Who Is This For?
Emerging Educators & Counselors: Especially those of marginalized identities seeking guidance on teaching, counseling, or leading with an anti-oppressive lens.
Student Activists & Organizers: Looking to balance academic demands with activism, while learning sustainable organizing principles.
Aspiring Nonprofit & Community Leaders: Eager to build, grow, and manage justice-focused programs or initiatives.
Graduate Students & Early-Career Professionals: Navigating academia or professional environments that may not be fully inclusive.
