 Meet OUR founder and CEO

“I believe my purpose is to help people translate history, connect with one another, and grow as justice leaders.”

I am an educator, facilitator, and strategist working to help leaders and groups work together to advance justice.

I was born and raised in the U.S. Deep South. My people were entrepreneurs, Black church leaders, NAACP + SCLC members, mass meeting attendees, HBCU graduates, sharecroppers, and, five generations ago, enslaved people.

I grew up learning about the history of the Black Freedom Struggle in the U.S. at the dinner table from my parents and family in Alabama who shared their personal stories and from the books they told me to read.

Self-reflection, relationship-building, and understanding history are all critical to leadership for a more just world.
