PROLIFIC VISIONARY
FOUNDER

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Over 10 years ago, ABLS was just a journal entry in my "little blue book of dreams." I envisioned an organization with a future where minority women would feel loved, valued and inspired to live a life that brake generational curses fearlessly. Since our incorporation, my vision and assignment is evolving. I must be the architect of this village of power, resources and support. To plant seeds that foster an ecosystem that champion equality, mental wellness, and empowerment. As a Daughter of New Orleans, I am "cut from a different cloth" and rooted into building an immortal legacy.
