Eight years ago, I was navigating a successful Tech career while being a single parent to 3 children after a divorce and honoring my commitment to care for my parents. I found that saying ‘yes’ to things that gave me a deep sense of fulfillment kept me grounded, focused, and unfrazzled when the storms of life came.
Centering joy is the powerful counter-balance to self-doubt, deferment, and mediocrity. It requires slowing down to look within, deeply understanding who you already are, and becoming amazed by her.
This is a practice that I preach and teach because it is an honor to be a part of the transformations in my clients.

It requires slowing down to look within, deeply understanding who you already are, becoming amazed by her, and achieving your goals confidently, consistently, and powerfully in personal and professional spaces.
Parenting 3 children to be free & brilliant Black adults, navigating a successful 30-yr Tech career at Fortune 500 companies, and becoming an entrepreneur at age 55 are all examples of where centering joy led me.
