Radical Freedom Dreamer

I help people see beyond the version of themselves they have been surviving as.

Founder. Speaker. Strategist. Certified life and spiritual coach. Underneath every title is one woman and one question.

The one question

Who do we become when we stop surviving and start aligning?

Everything else is evidence

Survival is a skill. It was never supposed to be a self.

Most of us are still running the operating system that kept us alive. Flip it. Watch what the same life sounds like from the other side.

People do not leave conversations with me quoting my title. They leave with a mindset shift.

A new question. A different perspective. A possibility they could not see before. That is the work.

My work lives at the intersection of leadership, identity, freedom, healing, and becoming.

For more than a decade, I have built organizations, developed leaders, facilitated healing-centered spaces, and helped people navigate change, growth, and transformation.

Along the way, I have become a founder, speaker, leadership strategist, certified life and spiritual coach, and a co-author of published research exploring the experiences of Black girls in Tennessee schools.

I built FLY Girl Institute to help girls see beyond the limitations placed on them.

I built DreamSuite to help leaders and organizations create systems that support freedom instead of burnout.

And through it all, I have become what I call a Radical Freedom Dreamer. Someone committed to helping people see beyond the version of themselves they have been surviving as. Co-author, peer-reviewed research on Black girls in Tennessee schools, in partnership with the University of Tennessee.
