Sugar From Sun started as an effort to create more honesty, closeness and joy by sharing words in community. Over the years, it’s grown to be a personal ethos and guiding light for the work and presence I bring into the world. Writing has consistently been the vessel I’ve used to understand our social reality, amplify the voices of others and document my own experiences. The desire to share and connect through story remains foundational to my work as a facilitator, strategist and community-builder. 

Detroit-born, Houston-raised and Chicago-based, my passions and perspectives have been shaped by the diverse environments I’ve existed in and the brown body I call home.

As a creator, I seek full integration of my work and my values. While Sugar From Sun is a newsletter and Instagram account, it’s also the spirit that infuses my professional and creative work. 

May you find joy, healing and growth in every word, image and encounter. 

Love,
