A period of sexual abuse in my childhood disconnected me from myself and I began seeking my self worth in external things. As I grew up, I began conforming… for a while I succumbed to the programming of the matrix.

Straight As, extra-curriculars, Ivy League, non-profit work, abs, tight glutes, perfect blowout… To say the least, I knew how to get shit done and look good doing it.

I hid my gifts, chasing the material/academic success that I was told would bring me safety, security, and happiness…

Yet, through all of this I found myself being a spiritual guide to friends and loved ones, creating herbal potions for internal and external wellness, and using my intuition as my guide as often as possible. Slowly but surely, I was letting go of my conditioning and coming back to my true nature.

Soon, I began traveling and have been blessed to be a friend of indigenous communities worldwide.

Now, I know my purpose is to initiate women of color into their personal liberation journey. Since then, I was served as a women and sexuality counselor, mental health specialist, taught at retreats, spoken at universities, and empowered many other humans to reconnect to their own internal wisdom.

I also curate initiatives focused on empowering sovereignty in indigenous communities worldwide.

I know my purpose, my power, and my inherent value in this world. I wake up feeling so grateful for the opportunities to share my gifts with the world. Most of all, I feel at hOMe in my body, the greatest blessing of my life.

I am still traveling, currently based in an indigenous Mayan Kaqchikel village in Guatemala.
