Let’s celebrate community, culture, and our hidden histories—one story at a time.
The goal of my collective work is to illuminate overlooked histories, elevate marginalized voices, and foster critical dialogue across generations. Through historical research, narrative nonfiction, educational writing, and cultural advocacy, my completed and ongoing projects seek to preserve truth, inspire equity, and empower communities to reclaim their stories.
Whether documenting Freedom Colonies, exploring the intersections of faith and resilience, or addressing educational disparities, my work aims to serve as both a record and a catalyst—archiving what was, challenging what is, and envisioning what could be.
