I am an educator beyond buildings, an advocate by calling, and a guide for those navigating systems, transition, healing, and becoming.

For more than a decade, I served in my hometown of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, walking closely with youth, families, and communities impacted by trauma, inequity, loss, and life transition. Those years shaped not only my career, but my understanding of people, systems, and what true support requires beyond policies, programs, and titles.

Hands of IX was founded at the intersection of transition and obedience. In choosing to relocate to Atlanta, Georgia, I also chose to answer a deeper call from God to serve beyond traditional systems and help close the gaps that too often leave people unseen and unsupported. This work reflects a commitment to walk with people, not past them, and to offer guidance rooted in faith, lived experience, and responsibility.

Through education, lived experience, and faith, I learned a truth that now anchors this work: systems are not broken. They are doing exactly what they were designed to do. Freedom does not come from systems alone. It comes from people willing to lead with wisdom, compassion, courage, and care.

Hands of IX exists for those navigating seasons of change, grief, faith, identity, and restoration—often all at once. It is for those who have done everything they were told to do and still found themselves searching for peace, clarity, or direction. This work is rooted in the belief that healing is not rushed and purpose is revealed through alignment, not force.

I believe restoration is possible for individuals, families, educators, and generations. Hands of IX is faith centered, testimony driven, and guided by the conviction that people are the bridge between pain and peace.
