About
An accomplished nonprofit and philanthropic professional from a family of educators, I realize education is not enough when social systems are broken. A passionate advocate for black arts and authentic community engagement and a former college literature professor and author who researched the cultural politics of people power, I combine this knowledge and experience to build initiatives that align people, organizations, and philanthropy around future focused strategies to increase equity, access, and opportunity in education and the arts for under-resourced communities.
