Healthy Actions Intervening Responsibly (H.A.I.R.) amplifies the voices of those impacted by domestic and sexual
violence. H.A.I.R. honors the stolen childhoods of Black girls and women. Through community-rooted healing, H.A.I.R.
build spaces where art and advocacy come together to restore wholeness and inspire change.
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.
