CREATIVE CONSULTANT.POET.EDUCATOR.
In a world that encourages us to embrace our uniqueness while wanting us to conform to narrow expectations, I extend an invitation to a different realm. Here, you have the freedom to express yourself, find inspiration, and genuinely embody your authenticity. Everyone may have a different reason for visiting me here. Some of you may need a poet to perform at your event or you want to sign up for a workshop. Others may be looking for a project manager or producer. Maybe you are seeking that one-on-one time to unpack your vision. No matter what, I am ready and excited to listen! First, allow me to introduce myself; I'm a Gemini (no need to flee in terror) and a polymath, which means I wear many hats. Sometimes, I'm gracing the stage, pouring my heart out through poetry to connect with audiences numbering in the thousands. Other times, I'm diligently working behind the scenes as a project manager, orchestrating events to bring fellow creatives' visions to life. On occasion, I'm assisting clients in translating their grand dreams into actionable and sustainable plans (my spreadsheet skills are top-notch!). You might also spot me hustling on film sets producing a music video or educating high school students about the power of poetry and the importance of finding their voices. I have found success in all of these spaces because 1. I love learning new things and 2. I have never been fearful of starting over and putting in the work to rise to the top ("Started from the bottom, now I'm HERE"). Regardless of the task at hand, my most potent superpower is my connection with people. I suppose you could say I'm in the business of humanity. At the heart of any artistic endeavor, isn't that what it's all about? Taking our deepest desires, joys, and needs and ingeniously presenting them to forge connections with one another. It's about feeling unburdened while being our true selves and discovering our tribe. Your next performance, nonprofit fundraiser, music video, or profound epiphany could be the lifeline someone needs to navigate their day. So don't waste it! I believe in cherishing that possibility. I believe in being a 'Fruition Maker.' Together, let's create what the world didn't know it was missing! Most importantly, lets hold on to YOU and honor the gift that you are.
