My greatest motto in life is “See a need fill a need”. If you identify a need, then do everything in your power to fill that need.

I have been featured in the Metro, Stylist NBC, and on many news outlets for my outstanding work in helping thousands of Black and Ethnic Minority communities’ access psychological therapies.

I have established an ecosystem that economically empowers black women to reskill, upskill and deploy into leadership positions. I am a TEDx speaker, a change agent and a voice for Black and Ethnic Minority emerging women leaders as I work to tackle issues of the lack of representation of Black Women across all sectors in the talent pipeline. 

I am also interested in female empowerment and Mental Health inequalities in Minority populations.
