POV: you were named as one of the 11 black movers & shakers in Nashville
Honored to be named one of Nashville’s 11 Black Movers and Shakers and featured in The Tennessean.
Three years ago, I never imagined I’d be speaking on panels about the future of Black creativity in Nashville or building a women’s community like She’s Social. This moment feels surreal — but it also feels like confirmation.
I’m excited to see the growth of Nashville, how Black creators and Gen Z founders continue to expand the culture, and how we build spaces that feel safe and empowering for women.
I was here… figuring it out.
Now I’m here… still learning, still growing every day.
My hope is that you tune in, share your thoughts, and encourage along the way as I continue to document the triumphs, the losses, and the lessons in real time.

Being named among Nashville's 11 Black Movers & Shakers is more than just a title—it reflects resilience, vision, and a commitment to community. From my personal experience, the journey to such recognition often involves moments of doubt, countless late nights, and building with no clear blueprint. The path to success is rarely straightforward, especially for Black creatives and entrepreneurs navigating spaces that historically lacked inclusivity. What stands out most in this journey is the power of community. Creating spaces like She’s Social has been essential not only for networking but for fostering a safe, empowering environment for women to thrive. These communities amplify voices and provide critical support that sustains growth and innovation. Nashville’s cultural scene is evolving rapidly, thanks to Black creators and Gen Z founders who bring fresh perspectives and energy. This momentum not only expands the city’s legacy but also challenges stereotypes, opening doors for upcoming talent. It’s thrilling to witness firsthand the growth and impact of this movement—and humbling to be part of it. Sharing the real-time triumphs and setbacks offers valuable insights for others on a similar path. It underscores the importance of perseverance, continuous learning, and staying true to one’s vision. If you’re on a journey of building, shaping culture, or leading in your community, remember that growth often comes with risks and uncertainty—but with it, a legacy far bigger than any one individual.
