Hi, welcome.
It’s a bit of a miracle you’re here. In this vast world of digital debris, you somehow found me and decided to spend your precious time here. Thank you.
Aside from being a mother, writer is how I know myself. I explore a wide range of topics, mostly because I’ve always convinced myself I’m a wannabe polymath.
I write because it is a matter of sustenance, and I truly hope these words can become a refuge for you too. ❤️

I will either find a way, or make one. Below are all the articles, podcasts and vlogs I have published so far.
Short Story Fiction: Agency
I found out what happened to Nelson today. He was my gym buddy, but not in a way you would think one would be. "His family has moved him to another rehab center near Valdosta," his trainer at our gym told me as I checked in with him about Nelson. "If he can't find...

The America I Met at a Truck Stop: A Road Trip, Kind Strangers, and the Small Acts That Hold Us Together
These days, when I ask my children to come with me on road trips, they think I'm looking for a buddy so I can share the driving load. At 21 and 17, they have every right to think what they want. But what parent doesn't want to stay attached to the hip of their child,...

You could’ve chosen to land your eyeballs anywhere. And yet, here you are. Thank you.
Its been my dream for years to do something to consciously create a better future where every one of us is excited about our own potential. My challenge to everyone is that they aspire for their personal best and leave a legacy of their work through their contributions to mankind.
I want us to remember to respect ourselves, our time and our capabilities in a world where distractions are just a click or a swipe away. I also never want to let this idea out of my sight – Our children are not just GPAs. In a world obsessed with metrics and machines, there’s so much we must do to equip our children with real life readiness skills.
In December of 2044, I hope to win the Nobel.
Namasté.
