From the Soul

My mission is to bring light to the world through a relentless pursuit of equity at the intersections of psychology, public health, and social policy. This, I believe, is one of the many Godly purposes of my life- to display his love through my dedication to justice and vision for a humanity-affirmed world.

To make it more manageable, I break down my efforts into the following world-changing initiatives:

  • Empowering Communities.

  • Fostering Integrative Resilience.

  • Challenging Systems.

  • Educating the Masses.

  • Shifting Narratives.

  • Improving Life Trajectories.

  • Reforming Policies.

  • Invoking Systems Change.

In Practice

In 2019, I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (BA Psychology, BA African American Community Health and Resilience; Minor in Health & Society).

Currently, I am a PhD Student at Columbia University in the Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology.
However, I maintain research connections and appointments across the US and abroad. While my doctoral study is in Counseling Psychology, my research takes a strong decolonization approach and encompasses public health, welfare policy, psychology, and education in order to facilitate holistic liberation and restore justice. A space in traditional academia has never been the goal for me. I see myself in community centers and non-profits, upon stages, and on media platforms encouraging others to unveil their light to a world that desperately needs it.
