“Being a barrier breaker means building the door when none exist – and holding it open so others can walk through. I became a mother at 19 and quickly learned how many barriers can exist at once. I encountered microaggressions, unconscious bias, and healthcare disparities, yet I refused to let those barriers define my future. I kept showing up – attending college classes, working, and preparing for a life bigger than the limitations placed in front of me. 

Those experiences shaped me into what I call a Dealer of Hope and a Paradigm Shifter, committed to expanding what people believe is possible for themselves.“
