Right now, I’m knee-deep in legacy work, community building, and minding the business that pays me and the business I’m growing. I’m into preserving Black stories, designing systems that actually work, and helping folks make sense of where they come from so they can walk boldly into where they’re going. I’m also obsessed with meaningful conversations, dope history, clean operations, Black joy, soft life moments, and building The Rooted Legacy Project into a whole movement.
In short? If it feeds my spirit, sharpens my skills, or honors my ancestors, I’m into it.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
My life and professional aspirations orbit around one truth: I’m here to build something that outlives me. I want to expand The Rooted Legacy Project into a powerhouse—an accessible, culturally grounded resource that helps families document their history, protect their future, and walk in their purpose with clarity.
Professionally, I’m committed to leading work that blends strategy, storytelling, and operational excellence, whether that’s scaling community-centered programs, managing complex educational systems, or elevating legacy work into a national platform.
Personally, I’m focused on peace, generational wealth, ancestral alignment, and building a life that feels soft, grounded, and intentional. I’m chasing impact, not hustle. Legacy, not noise. And every step I take is aimed at making sure the next generation starts their story with more than just hope, they start with receipts.
