I support Black women by providing support after personal loss and teaching them how to redefine and recreate their lives.

I believe that life happens to everyone. You can never prepare for some L’s. However, with the proper support and self-care, you can overcome any L.

who I am


I am a mom, partner, entrepreneur, coach, author, and speaker. I’ve learned that improving my mental health and supporting myself emotionally has given me the capacity to raise happier, healthier children, as well as attract and support my partner. I am living the quality of life I envisioned for myself.

my story


I know what it is like to experience devastation, feel disconnected from the world, and wrestle with uncertainty about what to do next. I spent 20+ years with depression as my BFF because I could not articulate my feelings to the adults around me. I also realized that many of the Black women I encountered could not tell me how to manage my grief because they did not deal with their own. I dreamed of writing a book to support Black women for years. When the pandemic hit, I knew it was time to begin supporting women who were devastated from losing a parent, going through a divorce, or experiencing L’s.
