Empowering Artrepreneurs &Economic Leaders

As a driven Artpreneur and community developer, I’ve spent years crafting experiences that connect youth, families, and professionals through the arts and education. In my work as Founder and Global Program Developer for Addlife! African Dance Company, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring over 30 emerging artists and professionals—ranging from visual artists and musicians to doctoral students. I’ve connected them to vital platforms and resources that allowed them to showcase their talents and transform their passions into fulfilling careers. Artists like Kennedy Yanko, Andrew Behnen, and Dr. April Warren-Grice, among others, have gone on to lead in their fields, and it’s been a joy to see their growth.

A key aspect of my career has been designing and implementing over 100 arts programs across various cultural centers and schools in the U.S., Africa, and India, providing other artists an opportunity to refine their craft and perform on world stages.

Interested in collaborating? I’m excited to partner on projects that promote personal, business, and community development. If you have ideas or would like to co-create empowerment pathways, let’s connect!
