Thank you for stopping by!
I'm a born and bred NuYoRican from the Lower East Side now living in the Sunshine State in Miramar, FL. I've worked most of my life in the nonprofit, education and ministry worlds. I'm a mom of two very different boys (Sam and DJ-my special needs angel) and a wife of 32 years to a most fabulously supportive husband, Hiram. I am always seeking to learn and love to share it with anyone who would listen.
I have a passion for many things but my top are anything related to the church, leadership, biblical justice and women. This site represents those passions.
My hope is that I can inspire you to action to bring hope and add beauty to your world.
