I grew up on a creative diet of comics, poetry, film, essays, and books.

An advocate for diversity, I studied the mechanics of film, creative writing, and journalism with the overall goal of altering narratives and imagery imposed on Black youths and adults. I achieved a bachelor’s degree in Mass Media Communications and went on to work for various Bay Area media staples before returning to my first love: storytelling.

When I'm not toiling over my computer, I'm occupied with my life as wife to my college sweetheart and full-time role as mother of two girls (or mutants, as I like to call them) and a cantankerous schnauzer.
