Biography
Passion, curiosity, grace, and critical hope are the gifts I bring to the spaces where I am called to learn, lead, and fellowship. As a mother, sociologist, teacher educator, and former Detroit Public Schools social studies teacher, I will always and forever connect self to systems and society--the personal to the sociohistorical and the converse. I am rooted in "education as the practice of freedom" and promulgate that ethos as a freedom dreamer and creator, seeking to grow communities and deepen connections one place at a time.
