I am a musician, author, and activist focused on uplifting the notion of community in our culture. My music is a fusion of jazz, RNB, soul, and alternative songwriting. I combine spoken word and rhythm to create music for the mind, body, and soul. As a woman of color, I am proud to continue the legacy of using music to advance our cultural narrative and educate the future. I graduated from UCLA in 2015 as a Distinguished Scholar and a Gates Millennium Scholar. As a musician and poet, I have performed at Langston Hughes performance art institute, Seattle art museum, folk life music festival, waco theatre north hollywood, and more. In 2022, I created a public art installation of poetry and visual art in collaboration with Seattle Restored. I have served on two panels for Seattle Arts and Culture, as well as, performing music as a City artist and Artist at the Center. I attend workshops for artist and people of color with the intention of uplifting marginalized communities through creativity and education. As the Recipient of the City Artist Grant, I will be recording and performing music in 2024 with the support of the Seattle Art and Culture Department.
