I am the CEO and Creative Visionary behind A Mother of Colour, a community-rooted brand dedicated to uplifting mothers through culture, creativity, and storytelling. My passion for this work comes from a childhood shaped by adversity—where art became my refuge through my parents’ divorce and the instability that followed. Creativity wasn’t just an outlet; it was survival, healing, and the beginning of my purpose.

​

That early journey inspired my academic path, leading me to earn an MFA in Media Design and certifications as a Therapeutic Art Coach through the Life Coach Training Institute and Transformation Academy. Art became my language, my way of understanding the world, and ultimately the foundation of my life’s work.

​​

Today, I serve as a Fiber Artist, Cultural Storyteller, and Multimedia Folklorist, weaving ancestral traditions with contemporary design. Through textile arts, narrative work, and digital media, I celebrate the beauty of Afrocentric and global cultures—helping individuals and communities reclaim identity, honor heritage, and express themselves with pride and authenticity.

​

My work also extends into storytelling on a national scale. As the founder of National Write Your Story Day, featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and TIME Magazine, I advocate for storytelling as a tool for healing, connection, and generational empowerment.

​​

With over a decade of experience in creative direction, marketing, and website management, I am committed to amplifying voices that are often overlooked. Through A Mother of Colour, I’ve built a vibrant space where mothers—especially mothers of color—feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Our guiding belief is simple: we rise by lifting others.

​​

I am especially inspired by ethnic and ancestral prints, and much of my fiber art pays homage to lineage, memory, and the stories women carry. Every piece I create—from handmade accessories to cultural pattern designs—is infused with meaning, honoring the women who came before us and the communities we nurture today.

​

Beyond my work, I am a daughter, wife and mother, and my son Genesis remains the heartbeat of my purpose. Everything I create, teach, and share is rooted in love for family, culture, and community.

​

Whether you are navigating motherhood, seeking cultural inspiration, or reconnecting with your own story, I’m honored to walk with you. Together, we are building a world where every mother—and every story—is seen, empowered, and celebrated!
