I am a Black American and Chicana sex educator and social worker and I bring those identities with me in everything I do. I'm also a Returned Peace Corps volunteer having served three years in Peru where my enthusiasm for sexual health education developed. 

I'm supported by my partner, my parents, and the energy of my ancestors. I'm a mama of one incredible kiddo and a big sister of four amazing humans and I can usually be found talking with one or all of them.
