H.A.I.R.™ is an interdisciplinary, healing-centered framework rooted in the belief that girls
and communities deserve
more than survival. They deserve wholeness.Our work reflects continuity, sacred connection, and the
understanding that healing is not linear.
H.A.I.R.™ recognizes that healing can emerge through storytelling, art, restorative practices,
culture, memory,
creativity, accountability, and community wisdom. It seeks to create spaces where girls are not reduced to
statistics,
labels, systems, or wounds but are seen as whole human beings carrying gifts, voice, imagination, and sacred
value.
Within our framework healing is braided. Identity is honored. Community is woven in. Wholeness is the goal.We
want girls to grow up whole. and for women who are returning to themselves and honoring their inner-child self.
Through story-telling, audiences learn about how my “story” unfolds in
three dimensions of the gender-based violence movement and the
groundbreaking study on adultification and the erasure of black girls'
childhoods. As a trainer and facilitator, I provide a framework for
building resilience with youth and communities.
Resilience is responsible for the development and construction of the 28
years of work experience that I hold within the gender-based violence
movement.
Not only do I have "lived experience", but also over 28 years of work
experience in the field. I am often chosen to speak, train, and
facilitate because of my expertise. I was the survivor speaker at the
2018 Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) and got a
standing ovation at the end of my presentation.
