I Speak About...


Multicultural home education

As a decade-long Charlotte Mason homeschooler, I was dissatisfied with the predominantly white, euro-centric book lists and resources so commonplace among homeschooling communities. So, I did something about it and started Stories of Color, a diverse, multicultural living book catalog for homeschooling families everywhere.

If we’re truly looking to provide the next generation with a rich, holistic view of history, it requires we share more diverse, multicultural stories that bring new ideas, experiences, and perspectives to life for our children. That’s why I love to communicate about this topic in both large and small gatherings, helping encourage, entrust, and equip homeschooling families—and especially moms—spread a more diverse, multicultural feast for their children.


Marriage & Parenthood

Though I specialize in speaking to couples amid or considering startup life, the same principles that apply to their marriages apply to every marriage. Whether speaking from the perspective of a committed wife, a bi-racial couple, or a homeschooling mother still figuring things out, I love sharing the humor, heartache, and practical lessons learned from my own experience as a no-nonsense wife and mom of three. 

It is with these messages that I am often sent to encourage the faint of heart and authentically share my own story to husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, encouraging their release of shame and fear while practically cultivating the mindsets and habits that produce healthy homes.  


Freedom in Christ Jesus

Yes, I love Jesus. But achieving the Freedom that He has invited everyone into experiencing is a journey — a journey I'm still in the middle of walking. As a fellow minister in Christ, I have been called by God as an exhorter to speak with men and women alike about Christ being our All in all, realizing our identities in Him, applying our spiritual gifting into ministry, and cultivating Christ-centered, Biblically-sound, Holy Spirit-led relationships.

These messages of Freedom translate to all ages and religious backgrounds, whether they are private Christian high schools, college ministries and convocations, or mature, multi-national churches.
