My journey in empowering youth through healing and mentorship.

I am the author of a series of books designed to help teens and young adults navigate traumatic experiences. My goal is to provide mentorship that supports their journey into adulthood, healing, and liberation.

Additionally, I have written a children's book aimed at developing perspective in young readers. I founded an organization dedicated to assisting young pregnant mothers and teens in gaining stability and leverage in their lives through support and mentorship.

Alongside my writing, I also speak at events and offer a variety of services focused on counseling, healing sessions, and empowerment seminars for youth nationwide.

Juanita since 2021/2022 until now 2025 has been not just a mentor but a prime example of Jesus and the heart of Jesus. She has helped establish me in areas such as mental, spiritual and emotional wellbeing. She has equipped me in tests most could not. I Thankyou God for her consistency over the years as a mentor and more often than not like a mom. One thing she has always reminded me of is that everything is spiritual first then physical. That "Honey go into prayer honey God can reach that person or thing more than we can ever " haha 🤣 as much as I wouldn't want to I would. With her guidance I've matured and grown. I'm forever greatful.
