Interests

I am passionate about healing art curation, which allows me to explore creativity and cultural expression while advancing our collective well-being and joy. I also enjoy spending quality time with my family, friends, and sorority sisters. Additionally, I love to travel and explore new places, finding inspiration in different cultures and landscapes. Another passion of mine is boating; I find peace and joy in being on the water, whether it's sailing or cruising. My involvement in community service and advocacy through organizations like Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc, National Council of Negro Women, and the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Center also brings me fulfillment, as it aligns with my commitment to fostering community safety, well-being, and joy.
