  • As a self-published author, I've worked hard to bring a fresh perspective to children's Canadian literature, and I'm proud to say that my efforts have been met with great success. I believe that children's books should be both educational and fun to read, which is why I strive to incorporate real-life situations into my stories. Whether it's a tale about a brave little girl overcoming adversity, or a group of animal friends working together to solve a problem, my books are designed to engage and inspire children of all ages and backgrounds. So if you're looking for children's books that celebrate diversity, and promote learning, you've come to the right place.

  • I’m a vocal advocate for representation of the BIPOC community in areas of dementia, and caregiving. I’m committed to promoting work-life balance and self-care, including the sandwich generation caregivers. As a sandwich-generation caregiver myself, I’m often embattled with finding the sweet spot of prioritizing my own life while caring for loved ones. I desire to create safe spaces for caregivers to navigate their feelings and emotions while ensuring that we all feel supported.

    I want to help people find the resources they need and to demystify the stigma around dementia and Alzheimer's disease. People of colour who are caregivers have decreased health, and I am passionate about changing this. Let's work together to make caregiving an easier process and experience.

  • As a Black woman who doesn't fit the common narrative of age, style, and cultural background, I model to represent professional working women, mothers, and those who prioritize self-care.

    Women in their mid-30s to mid-50s have significant buying power, yet we're often overlooked and underrepresented. I hope to inspire others like me and contribute to changing the narrative by advocating for more inclusion of middle-aged women and women of colour in all areas of society.

    If your brand shares this mission, I’d be happy to partner with you. Please email me at:
