I was born and raised in Southern Mississippi, and being a Black woman from the deep south informs my sense of self and the world.

Though I am an ordained Methodist pastor, I am more poly-religious when it comes to my desire to understand God’s depth and breadth. My husband and I got married in July 2020 because we needed love to win and to lavish in joy when the summer was so cruel to our communities – Black and LGBTQIA+. I’m a dog Mama who enjoys long walks, testing new recipes, and taking midday naps. I also love music and the arts, singing, listening to podcasts, and spending quality time with framily. Most importantly, freedom is not optional, rest is my strength, and joy is my resistance.
