Healthcare is a right.

Everyone deserves free and unfettered access to the means to live a healthy existence of their choosing. That includes comprehensive, medically accurate healthcare that meets our physical, mental, and sexual health needs.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, since 1998, I have lived intermittently in the UK, the Netherlands, and the United States. No stranger to moving, my family is a product of the American Great Migration. More than 100 years ago, my maternal relatives relocated from Columbus, Mississippi to Chicago, Illinois. On my father's side, I come from a long line of reproductive health advocates that include my great-granduncle William Clarence McNeill, M.D. He was Secretary and Treasurer at Howard University's medical school, where he was also a professor of gynecology and the department's head.

An artist and entrepreneur, I am creating a more just, loving, and healthy world, free of oppression. Because none of us are free until and unless all of us are free. See my full bio to learn more about me.

Award-winning sexual and reproductive health educator.
