Speaker

At the Global Black Economic Forum, I spoke on Building & Scaling Business Ventures for Multicultural Audiences, highlighting my commitment to generational wealth and financial stability. My goal is to challenge systems while empowering marginalized communities to unlock their potential, bridging advocacy and business to create impactful, sustainable ventures.

In my TEDxMidAtlantic talk, "Prison is No Place for Women and Girls," I spoke about the deep impact incarceration has on women, especially women of color. After witnessing these injustices firsthand, I felt compelled to raise awareness and advocate for change. Through The LOHM, I help disenfranchised women rebuild their lives with education, entrepreneurship, and advocacy, driving lasting reform in the criminal legal system.

In my conversation with the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative, I shared the vital work we’re doing at The LOHM to support justice-impacted women. Together, we’re creating real change and a brighter future by addressing critical issues in the criminal justice system. It was an empowering opportunity to highlight the transformative work we are doing.

In my #UnlockedFutures talk, I reflected on how I could help women successfully re-enter society after incarceration. With support from partners like New Profit and Bank of America, I established The Ladies of Hope Ministries as a safe haven for formerly incarcerated women to rebuild their lives. Our mission is to provide the tools and opportunities they need to thrive and create sustainable futures.

In this video, I recount my journey from drug involvement to finding my purpose in prison. I discuss the challenges women face behind bars and how initiatives like organic farming and community programs can provide hope and healing. This story showcases the power of personal transformation and the ability to create lasting change.

In this video, I celebrate The Ladies of Hope Ministries' (LOHM) 6th anniversary and reflect on the incredible impact we've made. Over the years, LOHM has empowered justice-impacted women by providing housing, reentry support, and opportunities for education and entrepreneurship. This milestone highlights the resilience of the women we serve and our ongoing mission to create brighter futures and lasting change.
