This small act can make a HUGE impact...

For the last 55 years I have been committed to using my voice to inspire positive change in people, organizations and communities. In that time, I’ve learned that every change, big or small, begins with someone saying, “Yes.” Are you ready to be a change-maker for your community?

Let's Celebrate Kwanzaa Together!

Join me and my followers as we learn about the African American holiday of Kwanzaa together. We’ll learn the meaning behind each of the seven principles while being introduced to new African American stories and traditions!

Ways to Work With Me

As a highly sought after educational and motivational speaker, I present insightful and entertaining talks on a wide range of topics. Whether you’re focusing on faith, relationships, diversity, equity, inclusion or more, I am available to inspire and educate your business, organization or institution.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice Consultant

With over 150 years of combined experience, my team and I understand that cultural competency is a journey not a destination. No matter where you are in your journey, we’re committed to meeting you there and helping to move you forward.

Actress

I know the power performance has to move people — to laughter, to tears, to action. Through theater, storytelling, and song, I use art to bring joy, to connect and inform and to build bridges between communities.

I appreciate your power of words, your spirit of clarity, and your heart that shows us the way. I appreciate that you are true to yourself, you stand up for what is right, and you empower us to see ways of building bridges, informing others, creating alliances, and seeing each other through a filter of change, though a light of our shared humanity.

Just wanted to say thank you once again for the Equity, Justice and Anti-Racism Training for our Regional IMPACT Hub Partners. It has been such an eye opening experience full of insights and I feel so grateful to have been able to participate in the training. I hope we have the opportunity to partner with you again in the future.

I can’t tell you how very much I appreciate your rigorous—but also wise, and kind—manner with our staff, and with me. You created a truly safe container for some hard conversations, that made next steps possible. I’m very grateful.

Central California Legal Services

You are thoughtful, eloquent, gracious, and insightful…you often speak to the very core of a confused question or issue in such a way that I am brought up short, thinking to myself, ‘Of, course! THAT’S the real question, perfectly put, and it makes everything else clear.’ Such a gift – and such a privilege to work with, and learn from, such a wise leader.

Let's Partner for Change!

Change starts here:

One of my favorite Kwanzaa principles encourages us “to do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.” This is the work I do. This is the work we can do together.
