I am an Amazon bestseller, Black Excellence award-winning author of “With These Hands; A Country Girl Came To Town”. Available on Amazon in hardcover, paperback and ebook. #StoryTeller #Griot I Looove Music, it’s my energizer, therapy, help and hope. #LiftsandCalmsMe #DanceToTheMusic Chicago’s own! I am a third-generation hairstylist/hair Weev* technician and instructor. Featured in various trade publications for my expertise and former distributorship of my own hair detangling products line I had developed and a former certified minority school bus transportation provider. As a descendant of entrepreneurial women... I’m not finished. I am a survivor of cancer, renal dis ease and covid19. I have several more stories to share with dreams of them becoming told through film, TV and or stage. I grew up surrounded by phenomenal storytelling. My love for reading and listening to stories birthed my dreams of writing and telling stories. Interviewed by the curators of The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture for the Robert F. Smith Fund due to their interest in my book and the nostalgia of the legacy of my predecessor entrepreneurs and the legacy my family held in the beauty and Hair Weev industry. I am here to listen, learn, share and connect. Peace and Blessings everyone.
