About

I love what I do, I'm motivated, personable with excellent communication skills. I want to be the catalyst for REAL CHANGE in the lives of the people I encounter. I've become acutely aware that the community is suffering from a spiritual deficit and is wounded from immeasurable years of oppression and uncontrollable trauma as a result of generational tragedies. We are now in a climate where "HEALTH is WEALTH. I'll still help a person, with their physical conditioning be the best they can be physically. Current reality definitely necessitates STRONG MIND (strong spirit) STRONG BODY. However, my focus moving forward is community empowerment, social and criminal justice reform, bringing economic equity and opportunities to those who need them most.
