As such, we have touched the lives of women and youth across the U.S. and Africa through my international non-profit organization.
Advocate
Civil & Human Rights
Working with national and local organizations to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research. With specific focus on civil rights, race relations, educational, social, economic, and political. Spent over 4 years lobbying on Capitol Hill for gender equality and civil rights with the American Association of University of Women (AAUW).
Philanthropist
Investing in Women
I know firsthand what a struggle it can be for young women, from low income families and/or challenging backgrounds, to pursue higher education. It takes resources, encouragement and a sense of possibility. My goal is to change a young woman’s life in a most positive and profound way through education. Education is the key that will open so many doors, not least of which is the door to an informed and rational mind. And educated women are more likely to ensure that their daughters are educated as well, so this gift of education is passed forward to the next generation. Through the Mary Church Terrell Foundation, I help raise money for scholarships for young women in Washington DC.

BOLD + BRILLIANT= BADASS
Speakers. Networking. Connections
What do we mean when we say, Bold + Brilliant = Badass? To be Bold, means you are willing to speak out for the issues that mean the most to you. To be Brilliant, means you have the experience, knowledge, and passion needed to advocate for your idea. When you combine Bold + Brilliant, the results is a Badass. Being a Badass means that, despite your fear, any potential backlash/criticism, or how unpopular your idea maybe to some, you will still push forward to share your truth.
Bold + Brilliant = Badass is our Mantra!
Are you ready to be a part of a network and connect with individuals who are Bold, Brilliant and Badass?
TEDx Executive Producer
TEDxUStreetSalon
I decided to expand the TEDxUStreet brand because I recognized that I was missing a critical market audience – men. The TEDxUStreetWomen conference is considered to be the signature event of the TEDxUStreet brand. TedxUStreetSalon events provide additional value to the brand by having several smaller event before and after the TEDxUStreetWomen conference. These events do not to replace each other, but complement each other. TEDxSalons are designed to be small but impactful. A critical element of salon is lively discussions, allowing attendees to actively participate in the event. With much smaller audiences, salons bring attendees togetherin more intimate spaces, and with more chances to get know and exchange ideas with each other.

FAVORITE QUOTE
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – by Marianne Williamson
