Hi.
I am a Waterloo Region based founder, artist and community builder. At Lunaria, I help companies implement diversity, equity and inclusion strategies that put people first. At Wilfred Laurier University I am researching how anti-Blackness and whiteness impact the visibility of Black women at work.
Outside of work and research, I am a Technovation mentor, support line volunteer at the Sexual Assault Support Centre and Board Member at YW-Kitchener Waterloo.
Passionate about applying my lived experiences and professional knowledge to causes that I care about. I love talking to people with similar interests to share ideas, learn and offer support.
Art.
I like to express my feelings, depict issues facing my community and practice self care through Art. My preferred mediums are acrylic paint and pencil.
Share.
I believe stories and words are powerful. I write articles and speak on topics related to diversity and inclusion including anti-Black racism, equity at work, DEI and gender equity. Recent speaking engagements include the BuildWomenUp Panel, Living The Startup Podcast, Driving Diversity in Entrepreneurship: Ideas for Actionable Insight, Diversity@Work Conference by Skills for Change, and Women in Data Science Conference.
