Writing & Nonfiction
Words are mirrors.
My writing lives where reflection meets instruction. I use story as a teaching tool—whether in self-help, curriculum design, or social commentary—to help people see themselves more clearly and systems more critically. Through essays, instructional design, and community storytelling, I explore the intersections of belonging, equity, and becoming.
