There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.

Originally inspired by a vision for multicultural community growing up in Queens, NY and attending one of the most diverse churches in the city (New Life Fellowship) in my pre- and early-teenage life, my vision for "building a more just world” blossomed via the Multicultural Unity Center at Michigan State 6 years later. Founded by Dr.Jeanne Gazel, who studied the overlaps of South African apartheid & the US racial caste system, this 25 year long program dedicated itself to building relationships across racial difference amongst college students. I have continued to take these principles into my life, through immersive travel, the study of “unity in diversity” across religious, spiritual & identity frameworks, and working as a design consultant and creative coach for the MCC. Today, I continue to seek new ways for multicultural community and global social change to take shape in my life and work. 

Inspired by my travels, exploration of holistic healing and evolving critique of our societal values, "The Orchard," is a project connecting people to the fruits of awakening consciousness to earth’s abundance, spirituality and feminine healing for personal and social change. Growing up in a home with 11 siblings, I viewed resources differently then most Americans raised on the principles of individualism and materialism. Throughout my life I have continued to seek ways I can improve my health, wealth, and wellbeing based on cooperation, renewal and regeneration. I am in the process of creating a writing platform dedicated to exploring this multi-dimensional approach, the wisdom of sacred geometry and the process for transmuting what no longer serves us. I believe we have the power to awaken power within ourselves, our communities and institutions for generations to come.
