Magic Moment: The birth of our daughter was magical and blessed.. She was delivered by 9 people. What a community experience. What a collective, impromptu, common interest moment. Thanks to the Village for showing that day the spirit of collectivity. July 1st is a special day for me and I am happy our daughter has chosen the great profession of midwifery.

Key Influence: My grandmother Edna Walcott. She was an entrepreneur, understood the market place and had a great sense of humor.

My grandfather. He had vision, was a builder, used his hands, could design anything, make anything. He was kind and community engaged.

Next Big Challenge As An Industry: Moving courageous conversations into action and tangible items. Re-thinking avenues of access into the industry. Affordability of homes and space.

Secret Talent: It’s a secret.

On Championing Others… By modeling, networking, inclusion of others and new ideas, access to new opportunities.

One word that captures you: Engaging. I see life as Call and Response. The world, history, the moment calls and the spirt asks, how will you respond? Engagement.
