Consultant, Facilitator & Coach at Water’s Edge

Heart-centered consultant supporting social change.

My work is rooted in an awareness that we live in the balance of systemic oppression and ever-emerging resilience, and a personal commitment to Liberation through building and sustaining relationships that open up possibilities for healing, growth, and change.

My professional background and expertise represent an alchemy of both lived and formal learning experiences, all of which have involved developing skills and strengths to survive mainstream systems as a biracial Black and white, queer, nonbinary, transracially adopted person. After 20 years working and living on Lenni/Lenape land in NYC, I now support change work on Wabanaki land in Maine, where I connect to love and joy through partnership, parenting, and building community.

My commitment to supporting the work of healing and social change is rooted in love, my mixed race African American and Irish ancestries, and the survival, resilience, and power I experience as a queer person--among other Sources. I live and build community on the occupied land of the Wabanaki peoples.
