My Story

EMPOWERMENTOR. VISIONARY. PERPETUAL AUTOBIOGRAPHER™

I decided as a fourth grader that I would go to Howard University School of Law to follow in the footsteps of Justice Thurgood Marshall. My mother, who raised me as a single parent in a low-income home, nurtured my dreams and nourished them as if they were her own. Because of her unyielding support and God’s faithfulness - and despite what other people had already scripted for my life - I became the very first person in my family to go to college. I went on to study internationally, and earn three degrees in higher education - a B.A. (University of San Francisco), J.D. (Howard University School of Law), and LL.M. (California Western School of Law).

I’ve spent the last several years mastering being comfortable in uncomfortable situations and conquering a fear a year. In 2017, I accepted the biggest challenge of my life: I ran for political office! During the race, I offered the cure for our failing systems: more care, compassion, and concern. I quickly came to be regarded as a voice for “The People”, and garnered the reputation of being a compassionate, inspirational, and humanity-centered leader.

I am a “perpetual autobiographer"—a term I coined to describe individuals committed to continuously and intentionally authoring their own life stories.. As such, I do not allow other people to write my story. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I author my life's story, crafting its chapters each day. I take pride in defying odds and breaking stereotypes. With my visionary gifts and clear purpose, I empower others to author their authentic, God-centered stories.

My life goals are simple: 

Honor God.

Build on my grandmother’s legacy.

Make my mother proud.

I gratefully receive the gift of new mercies and grace every day, and regard each day as an opportunity to “do things better”. Through my professional motivational speaking firm, Motivation.In.Action (MIA), I empower Believers—especially women and young people—to “write their own stories” and to live on purpose. For me, MIA is not just a business, but a ministry. 

I am the proud mother of a two-year old amazing daughter. We live in San Diego, California. I proudly serve on the Board of Directors for the David’s Harp Foundation, a nonprofit that transforms the lives of justice-involved and unsheltered youth through the power of music, and am an adjunct professor at Point Loma Nazarene University. I served San Diego County for 13 years as a public defender. I now serve as the Founding Executive Director of an impact litigation non-profit organization, Community Advocates for Just and Moral Governance (MoGo).
