My story spans three continents and nearly thirty years. My storytelling is deeply rooted in my childhood in the rural South. As a military spouse for almost two decades, I traversed the globe, gaining insights from diverse cultures. My journey includes thirteen years as an education professional and roles as a mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, granddaughter, wife, divorcee, and single female professional. Additionally, I have volunteered extensively as a child advocate. These experiences have equipped me to connect with and speak to audiences of varied backgrounds with ease.
