Hello!

I write to stimulate your imagination, to encourage us to think beyond our daily routines, and remind us that we are not alone. By strategically using the written word, I advocate for and amplify others.


Writing is a process that takes time and practice. I can use my expertise to assist with messaging, develop personal & professional narratives, explore more effective mediums, and much more!


Representation matters. You deserve to see yourself

where ever you can imagine and know that you are heard, valued, and respected.

I see you.

I honor you.

Let me amplify your voice.

Yonitry: Volume 2

Poetic Lines By Divine Women

Featured Poems: I See You Sis, We've Run Our Curse, K.O., Rooted, and Stargazing

Yonitry: Volume 2 resumes the mission of the first anthology by ​highlighting resilient women through their journeys with ​empowerment and healing. In Volume 2, we’ve put our growth on ​display and we step into our power as the true goddesses we were ​always meant to be.


In this work, we explore the intricacies and intimacies of being a ​woman. Through this sisterhood, you will dive into our innermost ​thoughts that include topics like self-care, loss, unity in loving ​partnerships, motherhood, culture, and thriving after trauma. We ​encourage you to be inspired. Relate. Find truth. Have an epiphany. ​Chuckle. Smile. Learn and grow. Get a different perspective. ​Understand life. Be educated about the different walks we women take.
