As the founder of IgniteU, I’m on a mission to plant seeds of self-worth, kindness, and

confidence in the hearts of the next generation. Through storytelling, dance, podcasting, and public speaking, I use my voice and talents to inspire and uplift others across the globe.

My children’s books are filled with soul and purpose—whether encouraging kids to embrace

their beauty or teaching the power of generosity through simple, heartfelt lessons. These stories spark meaningful conversations that reach far beyond the pages and into everyday life.

But IgniteU is more than a brand—it’s a movement. From viral TikTok choreography to hosting empowering podcast episodes, I strive to create content that brings people together and leaves a lasting impact. At the core of it all is my joy for connection, creativity, and unity. And I’m just getting started.
