I am a graduate of Howard University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology with a major in Early Childhood Education. For more than 50 years, I have served kids and families in urban communities, from SE Washington, DC, to Gary, IN, After marrying I served on Chicago's South Side, including Washington Park, Woodlawn, Chicago Heights, IL, and Hammond, IN

A "Real" Care Plan Playbook for Friends, Family & Fiends is my life's work. It brings together the lessons I've learned through decades of caregiving, advocacy, and walking beside families during some of life's most difficult moments

This isn't pamphlet material. It's a real-life playbook plain-spoken, practical, and written so you don't have to learn the hard way, alone, like I did. It is my answer to my own ignorance and a gift to anyone who finds themselves caring for someone they love

My hope is simple: that we are better prepared, better supported, and healthier for the journeys ahead

Be well
