Since I started planning events in 2005, I have produced over 2000 events and helped clients raise more than $150 million dollars.
However, through my journey something crazy happened to me.
I got sick and tired of planning events how everyone else was and running into the roadbloacks because I am Black.
During the pandemic I made the decision to walk away from event planning.
Before I could, I asked myself if I was giving up after all this or was I strong enough to help an industry bring about change.
During the pandemic I started to revamp how I was doing business and who I was willing to work with.
I'm happy to say this has been the best decision of my entire career.
Now my mission as an Event Planner includes:
✔️ Serving as a Keynote Speaker talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the event industry.
✔️ Partnering with the marketing firms that want to have more intentional events for their brand or organization.
✔️ Supporting charity organizations that are close to military Veterans, as I'm a Army Veteran and also helping marginalized communities.
✔️ I run a coaching business for Event Planners who are struggling to find fulfillment in what they do and desire to have freedom from work to have a better personal life.
The results of changing my mission?

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
We've created a family of mindful, mobile, modular, hackable pods and shelters for work, learning and event space.
I care about how work, learning and event spaces can help us be better for each other, bring our whole selves to bear and build back better from this anxious challenging situation.
I focus on Inclusivity, improving work/life balance, knowledge sharing, powerful partnerships and being a good ancestor to the future.
I believe that design for the extreme benefits the mean. Ask me about this.
I am using this change-moment to evolve us towards Dynamic Workspace and Work From Anywhere.
To me that evolution looks like this:
-Office becomes an agile Employee Engagement Centre
-Coworking grows and expands in to Shopping Malls, High St and Hospitality as the near-by work option
-Our Homes become a multifunctional sanctuary
