Throughout my life, I've always been the "only" one. The "only" black girl in my class. The "only" woman of color in the office. Everyday constantly trying to fit into a space where I felt I didn't belong. It's honestly exhausting. So, instead of continuing to just exist in those spaces, I decided to create my own. A space where I, as well as other women of color, can manifest and become our true and best selves. Where we can be heard and celebrated for who we are and who we hope to become. As a student, photographer, and all around content creator, I aim to be intentional with my work and create opportunities for women of color to manifest. My aim is not only for us to be seen, but for our voices to be heard.

Through my contributions to To Her + By Her, I aim to manifest a space where women of color are celebrated for the alchemy and magic of their melanin. Beyond that, I seek to inspire each of our readers to recognize her own innate power. As a fervent writer and mental health advocate, I am passionate about holistic wellness and healing - physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. In creating and investing in platforms for black and brown women to be seen and heard, I prayerfully hope that our readers feel called to elevate into their highest and most authentic selves.
