About Me

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Women’s Studies with a focus on Social Justice from Spelman College and a Masters of Arts in Women and Gender Studies with an emphasis on Queer Theory from DePaul University. My education has equipped me with a deep understanding of social justice and the complexities of identity, which greatly inform my approach to childcare and postpartum care.

I began my career providing full-time care for families, including premature newborns, twins, and sibling groups, and later trained as a community doula. These experiences have strengthened my expertise in postpartum care and my commitment to supporting families holistically.

Rooted in a family tradition of care work, I believe every child deserves loving, thoughtful care within a supportive community. My background allows me to create environments that honor children’s rights and integrate them into community life, fostering spaces that respect their voices and autonomy.

I grew up in the suburbs of Metro Detroit as the eldest of six children. I now live on the eastide of Detroit with my wife, Maya, our two year old, Asa, and our middle aged cat, Kiki.
