I’m a writer, producer, and connector working at the intersection of culture, beauty, and conscious storytelling. My perspective is shaped not only by my work, but by my four children — two by birth and two through adoption — who continually deepen how I understand identity, belonging, and the kind of world I hope we’re building.

I’m the voice behind Rising Tides, a Substack newsletter dedicated to highlighting underrepresented entrepreneurs while exploring personal reflections on motherhood, identity, and intentional living.

I contribute to and produce stories for State of the Bay on KALW, where I focus on conversations around local culture, equity, and community across the Bay Area.

At the core of my work is a belief in connection — that when we move with intention, support one another, and make conscious choices, we participate in building something larger than ourselves.

A Little More of My Story

Earlier in my career, I practiced law and hold degrees from Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Law School. The through line across everything — law, media, storytelling — has always been the same: who gets heard, and who doesn’t.

Some work I’m proud of:

• Created the LIFT exhibition, a nationally recognized art exhibit on Black artists and racial justice that broke attendance records and received a Smithsonian Award

• Led a 2020 civic campaign that brought more than 1,000 citizens to the polls in my hometown

• Served on the boards of Wide Horizons for Children and SFCASA
