My passion for research was sparked during my undergraduate tenure and since then there has been no turning back. My PhD is in Community Health Education and as a public health professional. My goal is to change the narrative of Black sexology to one that is sex-positive instead of deficit-based. I am passionate about creating research teams that are representative of the populations and communities we serve. I believe that true public health impact goes beyond publishing in academic journals for the sake of status, but actually disseminating information in a way that is relevant and accessible  to the community. I have over a decade of research experience and I have been a sexuality educator since 2012. My research is informed by my experiences within the community, social media posts, and conversations I have with Black women. I currently serve on the editorial review board for the American Journal of Sexuality Education and the Journal of Counseling Sexology and Sexual Wellness.
