I now bring healing to my community one therapy session at a time.

Over the past 20 years, I've had the honor of serving vulnerable people whose voices are often unheard as a case manager, sex-trafficking advocate and nonprofit leader.

Sometimes the sun is shining, the cookouts are happening, the trips are planned, the music is playing… and your heart is still somewhere tender.

Grief does not always wait for quiet seasons.
Sometimes it shows up in the middle of summer.
At the beach.
At the barbecue.
In the empty chair.
In the memory.
In the body you are still learning to live in.
In the joy that feels beautiful and painful at the same time.

You are allowed to feel the warmth and still miss what’s gone.

Y’all want to talk about summer grief?

Had thoughts to share before Sunday ends. Praying it meets whoever needs it. 🖤

There are some spaces you don’t just attend…
you exhale in them. 🤎

I’m so honored to be speaking and helping lead Mahogany Table’s A Gathering of the Onlys 2026… a beautiful gathering created for Black women professionals who have been carrying so much for so long.

This year’s theme, Free to Flourish, feels especially sacred.
Because so many of us know how to survive, push through, lead, perform, and keep showing up.
But flourishing?
Flourishing on our own terms?
That’s holy work too.

This gathering is for the woman who is tired of carrying it all alone.
The woman who longs for a room where she can breathe deeper, be fully seen, reconnect with herself, and be surrounded by women who get it.

I’ll be there, and I would truly love to see some of y’all in the room.

Some moments don’t make you jealous. They make you aware.
Aware of what still feels tender.
Aware of what you’re still waiting on.
Aware of the ache you’ve been trying to outgrow.

Sometimes seeing someone else win does not bring out bitterness.
It brings you face to face with your own longing and grief.

That moment does not mean something is wrong with you.
It may just mean something in you still needs care.

You can celebrate them and still check in with yourself.
You can mean your support and still be honest about what got stirred up.

That kind of honesty matters too.

Nobody talks enough about the grief of not being where you thought you’d be by now.

Not married yet.
Not healed yet.
Not where you thought you’d be financially.
Not as far along as you imagined.
Not living the life you promised yourself you’d have by this age.

And because nobody died, you tell yourself it does not count.
You call it overthinking.
You call it jealousy.
You call it failure.

But sometimes it is not failure.
Sometimes it is grief.

Grief for the timeline.
Grief for the dream.
Grief for the version of you that thought life would look different by now.

If this hits something tender in you, you are not weak.
You may just be grieving a life you have not lived.

Today’s Grievy Walk soundtrack is a song I wrote called “Bury the Map.” (I’m my biggest fan!! lol)

This one is for anybody grieving the life they thought they’d have by now.
The timeline. The plan. The version of you that thought it would all look different.

Sometimes grief isn’t about losing a person. Sometimes it’s about losing the map and the direction you were going.

I’m posting this on the last day of Black History Month, and honestly… I’ve been slow to finish it.

Part of that is the sacred work I do with clients… holding space, tending hearts, carrying stories. (I’ve been tired, tired.)
And part of it is simpler than that:
I wasn’t ready for this series to end.

Because this month has been tender.
It’s given so many of us language for the quiet unravelings, the sisterhood grief, the soft ache of missing what mattered.

And maybe that’s why this final post feels right:
not as a rushed ending,
but as an invitation to re-braid.

To begin again slowly.
To rebuild sisterhood without overgiving, overexplaining, or auditioning for belonging.
To make room for connection that feels mutual, honest, and kind.

If you’ve been walking with me through UNBRAIDED, thank you.
This series may be closing, but the tenderness it opened in us doesn’t have to.

You don’t have to audition to belong. You only have to arrive as yourself.

Let’s talk about re-braiding and how to rebuild sisterhood without overgiving, overexplaining, or auditioning for belonging after friendship loss.

We’re going deeper in Wednesday’s Unbraided Notes. See you then.

That “unsent text” is grief + muscle memory.

You can miss her without reopening access. Let’s go deeper in Wednesday’s Unbraided Notes.

“Pressha” unlocked a whole vault of memories, y’all.

So many moments where people tried to pressure me into being “more palatable” or correct who God made me.

And they weren’t always loud.
Sometimes it sounded like advice.
Sometimes it sounded like feedback.
But it always carried the same message: be less you. Less Black. Less Belizean. Take up less space. Accept less. Aspect less.

But I’m not taking notes from anybody committed to my shrinking.

I love me as-is.

So, Happy Valentine’s Day to the version of you that refuses to be reduced and bow under the “Pressha”.

And we love you. Thank you for always reminded us to love us too. 🤎✊🏾
