I don't just speak. I reveal. I don't just teach. I ignite.

I don’t take microphones to perform. I take them to break silence. To disrupt comfort. To call people
home to themselves. As a tenured professor, trauma-informed and healing-centered scholar, and survivor of systems not built for my wholeness, I’ve learned to speak truth with fire—and teach with tenderness. I’m not here to impress audiences. I’m here to transform them.

My voice is prophetic, not performative. My stories go deep, fast. My presence is an altar. I give truth, not templates. I speak so people feel seen.

Visibility isn’t vanity—it’s proof that your story matters. I believe in the power of truth spoken publicly. Not for fame. Not for optics. 


But because when we tell our stories out loud, someone else’s silence breaks.
