"Passionate mother, advocate, and founder of an affinity program dedicated to empowering adolescent boys in predominantly white institutions (PWIs). Witnessing the lack of representation for black and brown boys in these schools, I was inspired to create a platform where boys can safely discuss issues, topics, and feelings critical to their growth and development. As a First Generation American who grew up as one of the few brown faces in a PWI, I understand firsthand the challenges of feeling different in the room. Reflecting on my own experiences, I realized the absence of social programs that equipped me to navigate through my school journey.
With a Bachelor of Science degree, Real Estate Broker license, and 25 years of experience working with people, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to The Boys’ Room. Formerly a social worker at a middle school in Connecticut, I facilitated peer groups for children, deepening my understanding of the challenges young people face. Now, I am committed to creating the most meaningful and impactful program for our boys' well-being. Join me as we empower the next generation of young men to thrive and make a lasting impact on the world."
