Brooklyn roots.
Plenty of chapters.
Still becoming.
Through media, ministry, and entrepreneurship, I help people find their voice, share their stories, and bring meaningful ideas to life.
I’m a Brooklyn native with Jamaican roots. Along the way, I’m asking some questions of my own about purpose, belonging, joy, and what it means to build a life with enough space to actually live it.
I’ve spent more than 20 years asking questions and creating platforms for people to tell their stories. My interviewing journey has included conversations with Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, Lee Daniels, and Margaret Cho. As founder and editor-in-chief of SABLE Magazine, I spent eight years bringing stories of diversity and social justice to the page.
Today, that work continues through INSPIRE!, my live interview show; Kara Solutions, the digital strategy and media company I founded in 2020; and my ministry in affirming faith communities.
Those roles draw on different parts of me, but they share a common thread: people deserve to be heard, to belong, and to have access to opportunities that help them move forward.
I’m also an author, a Black queer woman, a seminary student, and someone navigating life with neurodivergence. I bring my lived experience, curiosity, and Brooklyn directness into the spaces I enter.
And yes, I’m still becoming. There is more story to tell.
The story beneath the story
More than
getting through.
“Enough space
to live, not
just manage.”
I know something about starting over.
My story includes surviving domestic violence, sexual abuse, homelessness, and a suicide attempt.
I speak about those experiences because there are people still trying to find language for their own. I know the weight of being called strong when you’re tired. I know that healing can take time, and that beginning again can happen while you’re still grieving what changed.
These days, I’m asking what comes after survival. What brings me joy? What deserves my energy? What would it look like to have enough space to live, not just manage?
Those questions shape my work and the conversations I want to have.
There is more story to tell.
