I am a creative force, educator, and dedicated public historian passionate about curating culturally affirming content that challenges and reimagines conventional narratives. Presently, I'm deeply engaged in several exciting endeavors, including my debut historical fiction series for young readers, "Magnified," in collaboration with Clarion/HarperCollins, set for release in 2025. I actively contribute to historical preservation initiatives across New York City and lead curriculum design efforts at Langston League. I’m an Ed.M. Candidate at Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Learning, Design, Innovation, & Technology Program.

In the last few years, I've designed curricula for STEM products and programs like Brown Toy Box, Xbox, Microsoft, and Flip (formerly Flipgrid). This was the emphasis behind my decision to pursue the LDIT program at HGSE.

Boasting over 15 years of experience in education and instructional design, I founded Langston League to address the scarcity of culturally affirming materials for learners of all ages worldwide. Langston League is a recognized leader in providing instructional design, facilitation, and personalized coaching to empower educators in creating and implementing materials that cater to diverse learners. Our notable clients include Netflix, Microsoft, MonkeyPaw Productions, Because of Them We Can, Harlem Globetrotters, X Box, Color Farm Media, and more.

As a WGA writer, I've co-written viral segments for an Emmy-nominated season of NBC’s The Amber Ruffin Show titled "How Did We Get Here?" I've also consulted on kids' programs and shows about Black experiences, and I'm writing my first feature film.

My pioneering contributions to the field of education have earned me international acclaim, with appearances on ABC's Here & Now, The Steve Harvey Show, MTV's TRL, Revolt TV, Forbes Magazine, Buzzfeed, Complex, The Grio, Black Enterprise, and others. My collection of awards includes the 2015 Harlem Children's Zone Innovation Award, the 2017 WeWork Creator Award, 2019 Spark Prize for Indie Authors, 2018’s Most Notable Hamptonian in Hip-Hop, 2020 Memphis Freedom Fellowship, and the 2023 Clio Award for Wakanda Forever/XBox Campaign.

As an alumna of Hampton University and spoken word artist, I graced the stage alongside HBO's Def Poetry, Arrested Development, Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def), and Dead Prez during my college years. I was also a 2024 Urban Word NYC Poetry Teacher in Residence, where I taught at an NYC school, and a Parle Endeavors board member, volunteering poetry classes to students in 2023. These experiences underscore my commitment to using poetry as a transformative educational tool.

I proudly reside in Bedstuy and hold the position of Vice President for The United Order of Tents' Eastern District #3, where I actively participate in preserving our historic headquarters. As a public historian, I am dedicated to making archives more accessible using technology and social media, ensuring that Black history is available to all.
