My Mission

Advancing equity and reproductive justice while building community and the capacities of everyday people to activate structural change and meaningful connection.

I am determined, with all my heart, to support Black women living with HIV, enhance our holistic well-being, and create new legacies beyond inequality and violence.

Through my scholarship, teaching, and mentorship, I hope to encourage current and future generations with expansive visions of Black liberation, systemic change, and community-building within and beyond U.S. borders.  

 As a public scholar, equity practitioner, and reproductive justice organizer with investments in research-informed social action, I connect my academic work to interventions that transform structures of power, advance equity, and affirm health justice.
