She has been invited to speak at a variety of events such as open mics as a feature, college campuses, churches, and corporate businesses, and has performed in plays, productions, and weddings.
Whether social justice, God and the church, love, or her personal life, authenticity, transparency, and vulnerability are ever present with every word she writes and she continually pushes the importance of remaining true and genuine to oneself, despite popular opinion.
