By profession I am a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Talent Partner, speaker and consultant. A mother of two beautiful girls, literary influencer and Book Enthusiast by passion!
A lover of literature and an advocate for independent authors, I am dedicated to aiding writers, and content creators in sharing their stories and literary gifts with the world through my boutique consulting firm, Transparent Gem Inc., established in June 2017.
In 2018, I was recognized for my work in the independent literary community, as the recipient of ACHI Magazine's and ACHI Women Supporting Women Association's "Author of the Year" award.
An author myself, designated Queen Pen, I co-wrote the Amazon best seller Mascara: Beat Face. Broken Soul and compiled and contributed to anthologies, Pretty Broken: Transforming Scars to Beauty Marks, and Beneath the Crown: Her Story. Her Power.
