A little about me

 I was born in Los Angeles, California.  My mother is a black Hispanic who was born in Honduras and raised in Belize.  My father is white from French descent.

I was taken by the police when I was only a couple months old, as neighbors expressed concern that I would not survive under my mother's care.  Both of my parents are mentally ill with violent tendencies, so I was placed in foster care until one of my maternal aunts won custody of me. My aunt raised me in Brooklyn, New York.

My passion for writing started as a little girl.  I was an active performer growing up; I took drama classes at Brooklyn College. I majored in dance at Brooklyn HS of the Arts. I started writing raps in 8th grade.  I started sharing my raps in high school.  I fell in love with poetry and performing spoken word in college.

I returned to California in 2009, transferring from SUNY Plattsbugh to attend UCLA.  I graduated from UCLA in 2011 with a degree in creative writing.  Before graduating from UCLA, I had the honor of opening up with my spoken word for a dialogue between Dr. Cornel West and Carl Dix, causing over 500 people to give me a standing ovation, including Dr. Cornel West, who was enthusiastically jumping up and down.  This event sparked a passion for me to travel and share my spoken word at different schools.  I love inspiring the youth and adults to stand up and become the change that they want to see in their communities.

I am thankful that I have been able to use my talents to encourage others to pursue their dreams despite their unfortunate circumstances.

​I was excited when Shye Eaze invited me to join witEAZEent.  The company's vision is exactly aligned with how I want to flourish as an artist.  I also had the pleasure of doing a couple of shows with her, and I admire her many talents.  I especially love the fact that the company is headed by a female and is composed of other beautiful and talented women.  I believe that we all have what it takes to take the entertainment industry to a whole new level.
