a little about myself.

As a Black woman that has lived in 3 different countries 🇯🇲🇨🇦🇺🇸, I’ve learned the value of thinking empathetically 🤎. This approach has informed my design process 🧑🏽‍🎨, allowing me to advocate for representation and change in the tech industry ✊🏽.

Aside from designing product experiences, I enjoy sharing stories from my community through Toned, a triannual, online magazine 📰 committed to amplifying the stories of Black Canadians at the intersection of race, art and culture. In moments of self-care and spare time, I enjoy creating 🎨, visiting art museums 🖼️, binge-watching various genres of tv 📺, dancing in my room to my favourite music playlists 💃🏽 and reading 📚.

    My Sister’s Keeper

    There is a connectedness and unifying force amongst Black women. Our joys, our struggles, our shared histories, both real and imagined, link us together.

    For this project entitled, My Sister's Keeper, my vision was to use pose and movement to depict the experiences of Black women. This project seeks to highlight how these experiences, the similarities in our journey, bind us into a sisterhood.

    I Am a Woman of Colour and I Stand for Menstrual Equity

    There is an important conversation around menstrual equity that needs to be had. Menstrual equity conversations lack the very necessary and important voices: Black women. Menstruation can be a burden on Black women. Historically, Black women haven’t had the privilege some women hold of celebrating their bodies. The shame we often carry from how we are perceived and treated has played a role in how we’ve projected those stigmas with the things that oftentimes come with our bodies, such as our periods. By sharing these stories, we hope to normalize Black women telling their stories about their periods.
