After struggling for years with depression, post traumatic stress, and low self-confidence, I began my journey of learning how to love myself through veganism, dance, and meditation. When I began to notice the inner peace and healing in my body that I felt on this journey I decided to bring more awareness to the benefits of maintaining an active and plant-based lifestyle.
Growing up in one of the beginning epicenters of slavery and racial injustice, I was always interested to know more about the true heritage of my people and what they were like before becoming slaves. On my journey of self-discovery I dedicated myself to learning the heritage and culture of my forefathers.
