MY STORY

THIS IS ME...

I’m a mom, a storyteller, and what I like to call a literary architect—crafting stories that spark imagination, ignite possibility, and turn even the most reluctant listener into a book lover.
Funny thing is… I wasn’t always one myself.

I grew up with a crippling speech impediment and dyslexia. Speaking felt uncomfortable, and reading? Nearly impossible. Words were not my friend. But everything changed the day I discovered Maya Angelou.

Her poetry transported me. Her voice? It commanded rooms. I remember thinking, I want to do that.

So, I picked up a pen, curled up by my window, and started writing.

With every stroke of my pen, I escaped into the worlds I created—fantastical, wild, impossible worlds where I was socially “normal.” That day, I fell in love with the possibility of words. And I never looked back.

I ELEVATED CREATIVELY

Over the years, I’ve stood on stages from Greenwich Village to Long Island to Brooklyn, weaving spoken word and storytelling that pulled audiences into my world. I’ve recorded music, performed across Manhattan, and watched as the very thing that once silenced me—my speech—became my source of freedom.

As my literary journey deepened, I realized words could do more than entertain—they could heal, empower, and remind us of our strength. That’s where my passion for motherhood, storytelling, and honest conversations collided.

Through my blog Mothering Mommy, I created a mental spa—a space for parents to breathe, laugh, cry, and embrace the chaos. From tantrum tales to raw reflections, I shared my life, flaws and all.

Then came my children’s books. Stories designed to reignite a fire in kids today—the fire of possibility, even when life feels impossible. Stories that help them believe in worlds beyond their own.

But I didn’t stop there. People have always been my focus, so I stepped into feature journalism—giving everyday voices a platform, amplifying their stories, and shining light on the realities that often go unheard.

AND NOW...

Here I am—continuing to build with words, stories, design, and purpose. From books to blogs, from digital platforms to spoken stages, I use my voice to open doors—for children, for parents, for recovering dreamers like me.

Welcome to my world—where words rise, stories heal, and possibilities are endless.
