Transitioning from nearly two decades in academia to consulting and speaking was a natural evolution of my passion for fostering meaningful connections and insights. My journey, including a TEDx talk and co-authoring a book, revealed a profound hunger for the stories and perspectives we shared. Witnessing the transformative impact of our work, from those hushed conversations in hallways to the enlightening 'a-ha' moments, affirmed the power of my anthropological approach to understanding identity.

By delving into uncomfortable truths and societal influences, we enable individuals to navigate their roles in shaping a more inclusive society. It's through self-reflection and a commitment to understanding our shared history that we can mend societal divides and pave the way for healing and growth in our communities, families, and within ourselves.

I’m excited to meet you!
