ABOUT

The mission of my work is to share my personal narratives to help encourage others to love harder, dream bigger, and write like their lives depend on it. When I allow myself to be seen, others feel seen. This work involves workshops that help female writers connect to their vulnerability and creativity, the podcast that I co-host alongside Gabrielle Hickmon, and the writing community that I’ve created in Permission to Write. I am saying we’re better together when we share authentically and transparently.

permission.

Permission to Write is an online and in-person community that amplifies and cultivates the voices of Black writers and writers of color.

What If I’m Not Ready Yet?

Jun 4, 2021

Summer is feeling in full swing here on the East Coast and after the year and a half we’ve had, I get why folks are ready to get back in action. But everything in me has been asking, “Am I ready to get back to the rat race?”
