I have a passion for helping people realize they are only limited by their imagination. By dreaming wildly and acting on one’s dreams, a person can achieve highly unlikely outcomes. People are born to be free and pursue the things in life that make them happy and fulfilled. However, people need education, training, and mentoring. I am driven to do each of these to help others live fulfilling and purposeful lives. My expertise arises from my formal training and applied life lessons acquired from modeling highly-gifted teachers and friends.

Bennet’s style of storytelling warmed my heart from the first paragraph. Her prose tickles the reader’s brain and soul as she explores themes common to humanity, regardless of people’s origins.

No one understands people and the African American experience and can make it come alive like poetry like Toni Morrison. I felt I was living in a different world as I read Jazz.
