Life
Students will understand that they are not alone in their struggle.
Curve-Balls
Students will not only begin to see how resilient they are but start to act on it by identifying the curve-balls in their life and ways to overcome them.
Home Runs
Students start to think in a more positive way, taking responsibility for their actions, and focusing more on the positive.
/ About me
I may not have all the answers, but I’m a firm believer in resilience!

Facing challenges can be transformative. My upbringing in foster care not only shaped my identity but also fueled my passion for helping others. As a nationally acclaimed inspirational speaker, I dedicate my efforts to empowering individuals to break the cycle of adversity. By sharing my journey, I aim to inspire resilience and encourage others to turn their obstacles into opportunities. Together, we can transform life's curveballs into home runs, proving that challenges can lead to growth and success.

Entering the foster care system at 2 months old wasn't the start I envisioned. By 8, I had already bounced around 12 different homes. Despite these challenges, I found stability through education. I graduated high school and went on to excel at Long Beach State, running track and earning my B.S in Criminal Justice.

The man I call "Dad" now saw that I had a gift for "running my mouth." One day he told me, if I can mesh this talent with my story, I could do some good in this world. I believe that faith and hope come by hearing and storytelling. Everyone has a story.
