People rave about the way I capture a crowd – how I make them feel and, more importantly, move them into action. I'm not just a speaker; I'm a transformational speaker. My secret sauce? Vulnerability, authenticity, practical application, and a knack for showing people what is possible.
I specialize in building the confidence, clarity, and power of social impact leaders, entrepreneurs, women, and executive leaders to fast-track their influence and professional growth.
I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship and Venture Management and a Bachelor of Arts in African and African American Studies from the University of Oklahoma; and received a Master's degree in Public Administration from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University. With this unique academic background combination, I leverage elements from each area in my teaching and leadership.
