About Me.
My passion is fueled by my unwavering dedication to two things:
Love of family
Creating a legacy and building strong families is incredibly important to me. I believe that our families are the foundation of our society and that we have a responsibility to invest in and support healthy marriages and families. That's why I have devoted much of my personal and professional life to teaching and providing resources to help families thrive.
Commitment to equality.
As a Black woman and an attorney, I have dedicated my career to advocating for students and families who have been historically marginalized. For over a decade, I have worked tirelessly to ensure that all students have access to equal educational opportunities. Through my legal work and advocacy efforts, I strive to create a more just and equitable society where every individual has the chance to reach their full potential.
