I am welcoming and receptive to more culture, languages, and decent people. I am constructing a life outside of the box. I am wrote my first book about my Under The Tuscan Sun/Into the Wild/Eat Pray Love journey. I also started my own business selling sports and outdoors equipment.

I'm looking forward to making more positive connections. I have many duties and am in many places at once. I take clients for my coaching and healing practice and I specialize in DNA. I have engagements like talks/workshops/retreats, writing classes, groups, business events, networking and self-growth. If I am able to host you, you are welcome to my library of life activities.

I currently live in the United States and I am called to do work in other regions. I'm 1st generation born in America. 👸🏾🙏🏾🇳🇬🍾🇺🇸 I live in many places and sometimes don't update my profile. Please ask me prior to sending a request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The system keeps us from knowing one another through media and scare tactics. I love that we are free thinkers. I love to connect with people who want to meet people.
