About Me

I am an arts educator, advocate, and artist. I grew up in Dallas, Texas and went to Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. I moved to Houston to become more active in non-profit and community work. I love curating spaces, social justice, knowledge sharing, and building networks with other healers!

I travel to heal my soul, and above all make intentional connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going on a long distance road trip with my life partner of five years. We are headed to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We are looking for a safe place to stay in in El Paso, Texas on our way up, and on the way back to Dallas.
