12.8 | 2:00-6:00PM
Let's meet on Zoom and dive into the unique ingredients that make you YOU. Let's excavate your individuality, your programming, your personality, your background, and your divine design. Discover who you are... and who you are meant to be.
Drawing equally on intuition and an inquiring mind, I’m a writer, teacher, speaker, consultant, and healer.
Something unique about me is that I’m a former professor who taught cultural theory at Harvard then Yale for twelve years before walking away to pursue my soul’s calling.
I’ve lived in NYC for over two decades and am an adoring mom of three utterly delightful beings.
I’m of African-American and Swedish-American parentage.
My favorite things include raucous laughter with friends; enjoying the beauty of nature; imbibing a delectable meal that’s delicious and nutritious; and exploring the world via travel, experiencing the vast variation among humans.

THE ART OF YOU
…is a journey you undergo.
Of authenticity. Sovereignty. Self-honoring.
My topmost passion is to bolster you in being who you truly are… in a world that would rather subject us to ye ol’ almighty cookie cutter.
I illuminate a path upon which you find YOUR way. I serve as a beacon, a floodlight, a warm invitation. To inspire you… and nudge you to live YOUR life on your terms.
I call you into life artistry. No formulaic “how to” here. It’s about letting go of rigid formulas and getting more creative. It’s about heart… soul… life’s breath. It’s about living your best life, in a world where it’s frankly not easy to do so. But it is absolutely possible.
I don’t share strict precepts to set your compass to. I instead empower you to establish your own guidelines and rules of thumb for your one-and-only life.
I provide you with an access point and a portal into a process of self-discovery. For ultimately, your answer to who you are and who you wish to be will be exquisitely unique to you.

On the Power of Asking “WHO AM I?”
In this 11-min video, I spell out the stakes in undergoing a journey of personal discovery. I provide backstory on how each of us comes to be how we are and who we are. As we form our identity, we wind up cut off from ourselves. We get unplugged from who we are meant to be. It happens without our realizing it. We come to reside in a default state of disconnection from our authentic selves. As such, the song we are meant to be singing, the very music of our lives, is playing off key. This status of living “out of tune” becomes a hidden reason for the vast assortment of problems that arise in our lives and in our world.
MY LATEST BLOG POSTS
WHAT ARE YOU + WHO ARE YOU
WHAT ARE YOU is a question I’ve been asked a lot. I used the question to hurl myself into an inquiry that became a doorway to self-realization. Now my most burning desire is to hand YOU that key.
It’s not easy to decipher and set your life’s compass to your truest truth. Yet it’s absolutely worthwhile to establish what that truth is.
It’s no simple task to live your most authentic authenticity. Yet it’s your life’s most sacred task.
It’s no walk in the park, to live as who you truly are. And yet it’s your foremost call to action.
It’s challenging to embody who it is possible for you to be… to walk your path as who you are meant to be.
And yet that is your very life’s purpose. My teachings and writings show you how.
BE YOU. I’ll guide you into position on the bullseye of your True North. I’ll help you find that courage to shine resplendently as YOU. I’ll galvanize, inspire, and reveal for you how to…
Be true to yourself. Get to know yourself. Ascertain your values. Identify your preferences. Determine your desires.
Walk that path of your authenticity! Allow for inevitable mistakes and miscalculations. Forgive yourself readily… while living your life, as a default, in honor of who you really are.
Master the art of not capitulating to what others want for you. Not family, friends, lovers, culture, or society. Choose to be sovereign and the leader of your own life… All while ENJOYING the adventure that is life’s wild ride!
Your conformity is a sin against your originality. For you are an original. Utterly one of a kind. Your task is to know it. And to live it. So get to know yourself… and BE YOU. Showcase who you are. Express your authenticity. Let your true colors show. Let the truth of who you are be revealed.

A better world begins with a better you.
Little do most people know that if we mean it when we say we want to live in a different sort of world, it will require us to become a different sort of populace. Change begins with the individual. Change begins not with “them” but with we, ourselves.
My writings and teachings are sourced smack dab from the intersection of the self, society, and spirituality. My passion for helping people to get to know themselves is taken as a given by me to be the very first step we must take toward the proactive crafting of a better world.
We must BE THE CHANGE we wish to see in the world. We must live as emblems of the exact change we wish to experience. The world is off-key because we are off-key. Let’s learn to live in tune… in harmony. In line with—and in integrity with—our personal truths.
