I am a mother, artist, and cultural visionary born and raised in Chicago and rooted in Bronzeville. A proud double alumna of Northwestern University, I bring both scholarship and soul into every space I enter. With over 14 years in independent education, I’ve dedicated my career to building communities, shaping culture, and centering children and families with integrity and vision. Creativity is not a hobby for me — it is survival. It is oxygen. It is identity. I live at the intersection of faith, family, art, and leadership, believing deeply that failure and success are partners in growth. My passions span visual art, fashion, design, cuisine, travel, and cultural exploration. My life is my canvas. My daughter is my heart. And my philosophy is simple: If I can’t be creative, I might as well not be here on Earth.
