Award-winning author and founder of Brave Sis Project
The stories of our Foremothers, restored to the spotlight and awakening us today.
Bio
I’m a writer, celebrant, and citizen historian who knows that our foremothers’ wisdom and valor shape how we live, lead, and build community today. My work lives at the intersection of storytelling, empathy, and social awareness.
I’m the founder of Brave Sis Project, a community and platform centering history, sisterhood, and learning for BIPOC women and the people who walk with us. I weave history with reflection and care, creating supportive and collaborative spaces for co-creation, conversation, and celebration.
Across community arts, global impact work, strategic advising, and fundraising, I’ve partnered with people and institutions from the hyper-local to the international. I’m a trusted thought partner to leaders and organizations who want to align their work with justice, humanity, and real transformation.
And I love to write more than just about anything in the world.
From NYC to Paris and the UK, from Santa Fe to the Bay Area and the Pacific Northwest, and now in San Miguel de Allende, I create welcoming spaces for celebration, connection, and courageous storytelling.
