The Story
I grew up in Mississippi, where Bible, prayer, and honest conversation were often the first tools used to help us deal with life’s heartaches. Looking back, I can see that we all carry messages from our upbringing, our pain, and the people around us. Some help us heal. Others quietly wound us. A big part of my work is helping people recognize the difference.
My life has unfolded in seasons, and each one has prepared me for the work I do now. I started at the University of Mississippi in Opera/Performance, but after a while I realized I was getting tired of the music grind and losing my passion for it. That season taught me that sometimes the messages we carry tell us to keep going even when our spirit is saying, “there is more.” I knew I wanted purpose, and I wanted to do work that truly helped people.
That is what led me to Florida A&M. It gave me a place to begin doing the work I felt called to do, and it confirmed what I already knew in my spirit — that my life would be about helping people move through pain, loss, identity, and healing. As a man, I was taught to suck it up, but I learned that real strength is being honest about what hurts.
I also have a real passion for teaching. If I ever went back into education, I would probably go back to the classroom. I loved the early years because that is where bonds are built and foundations are formed, and that is part of why I pursued additional study in Early Childhood through Fourth Grade.
I also teach about grief — the kind people often avoid, silence, or do not fully understand. Grief can show up after death, divorce, separation, job loss, church hurt, relationship change, retirement, betrayal, and even the loss of identity or dreams. I help people name what they have carried, because healing starts when we stop pretending loss only looks one way.
Teaching led me to a new passion: teaching therapists, leading workshops, consulting, and helping school districts navigate diverse and complex situations. I absolutely love sharing what I know and using my experience to support others.
At the end of the day, I want people to know I am human too. I lead with honesty, compassion, and the belief that healing begins when we name the messages we carry — and release the ones that no longer serve us.
