Let’s Chat!
I am happily available for interviews, profiles, and expert commentary!
I love talking about parenting, modern parenting, parenting tweens, the end to parent shaming, supporting parents, celebrity parenting, family dynamics, stories about supporting families, and any other aspect of parenting and families!
I can also discuss African American mental health as well as how representation and mental wellness in pop culture influence how we view ourselves.
