✨ Helping Humanity Heal, PLLC turns one! ✨

This road hasn’t been easy. Just like Chicago, this journey had its construction zones, potholes, and detours. There were moments of rerouting, delays, and unexpected stops. But every turn has led me closer to purpose.

One year ago, I took a leap of faith ,not knowing exactly what I was doing, but knowing I was called to do it. Helping Humanity Heal became more than an idea… it became a space where healing, representation, and community could exist together.

I birthed this LLC in 2020 with a dream to build something that would pour into others the way I once needed pouring into. October 2024, when I stepped into solo private practice full time, I had a full caseload on day one, and I haven’t taken that for granted for a single moment.

✨To my clients — thank you for trusting me with your stories, your growth, and your healing.
✨To those who referred your friends and family — thank you for believing in what I do.
✨To my wife — my biggest cheerleader, my grounding force, the one who sees the highs and the lows behind the scenes.
✨To my family and friends — thank you for your love and understanding.
✨To my mentors and therapist community — every counselor, every mental health professional who continues to pour into me, challenge me, and remind me of the “why.”
✨And to my own therapist — thank you for holding space for me, helping me stay grounded, and reminding me that even healers need healing.

This work has never been about perfection, it’s about purpose. About showing up, even when it’s messy. About building something for us, by us.

Here’s to one year of growth, gratitude, and grace. And to many more years of helping humanity heal. 🫶🏽✨💕

Tomorrow is the ! 💛

The theme of this post is close to my heart: it truly takes a village to raise a child. Parenting was never meant to be done in isolation and events like this are a reminder that resources, knowledge, and community make all the difference.

I’m honored to be partnering with and leading my workshop on Managing Distress in Children. Together we’ll share space, learn from one another, and walk away with tools that help both parents and children thrive.

This fair is already sold out, which tells me one thing, families are ready for support, connection, and empowerment. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow and be part of this village. 🫶🏽✨🌱

09/11/2025

Maternal su***de is one of the leading and most preventable causes of maternal death. Yet, it is too often overlooked in conversations about maternal health.

Pregnancy and postpartum do not protect against psychiatric disorders or su***de risk. In fact, many people are most vulnerable in the months and years after giving birth. And for Black and marginalized women, systemic inequities and barriers to care only deepen the risk.

This is not just about statistics, it’s about lives, families, and communities. Addressing maternal su***de means confronting stigma, funding prevention efforts, ensuring access to culturally competent mental health care, and advocating for systemic change.

Let’s continue to raise awareness, break the silence, and protect mothers and birthing people.
-
If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone:
📞 Call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
📱 For maternal mental health support: Call or text the Postpartum Support International HelpLine at 1-800-944-4773 (4PPD).

Su***de is not just an individual struggle, it’s a public health issue shaped by stigma, systemic oppression, and lack of access to care. The silence surrounding it only deepens the pain.
-
Talking about su***de will not make it worse. Staying silent does.
-
Mental health is health. Healing is possible, and no one should have to carry this alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available:

📞 Call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
💻 Reach out to trusted professionals, community supports, or local resources.

In honor of Women’s Health Month, I’m honored to be invited by the Chicago Association of Black Social Workers to lead a special training and community discussion on what it means to birth while Black.

Together, we’ll explore the role doulas play in improving birth outcomes, reducing disparities, and protecting the joy and power of the Black birthing experience.

This isn’t just a workshop—it’s a conversation rooted in healing, advocacy, and reclaiming our birth stories. 🖤

April Fools’ Day should be about laughter, not harm. While jokes can be fun, some pranks unintentionally hurt those facing real-life struggles. Mental health, pregnancy, and loss aren’t punchlines—they’re deeply personal experiences.

This year, let’s be mindful of how we bring humor into the day. Instead of jokes that could trigger pain, choose joy that uplifts. A kind word, a genuine laugh, or a moment of connection can go a long way.

Let’s celebrate humor that heals, not harms. 💚✨🫶🏽

I didn’t just become a doula—I answered a calling. 🌻✨

👶🏾 Why I Became a Doula:
I saw firsthand how Black birthing people are often unheard, unsupported, and left to navigate one of the most vulnerable times in their lives alone. I wanted to change that. Mental health and birthwork go hand in hand, and I knew I could bridge the gap between emotional well-being and maternal care.

🌱 What I Do Now:
As a full-spectrum doula and therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health, I support Black birthing individuals before, during, and after pregnancy—helping them feel mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for their journey. Whether it’s processing fears, advocating for better care, or simply holding space, my work is about more than birth—it’s about healing.

🎓 My Role as a Trainer & Guest Lecturer:
I now train and educate other doulas & professionals through GHI ( ), ensuring more birthworkers are equipped to offer trauma-informed, culturally responsive care.

💡 Why This Work Matters:
The intersection of therapy & doula support is where the magic happens. Supporting Black birthing individuals means addressing mental health, trauma, and systemic barriers while empowering them to trust their bodies and voices.

You are not alone in this. Life is full of transitions, challenges, and unspoken struggles, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Whether you’re adjusting to change, breaking generational cycles, balancing work and school, or battling self-doubt, therapy is a space for you to be seen, heard, and supported.

Healing isn’t just about surviving, it’s about thriving. It’s about unlearning what no longer serves you, giving yourself grace, and building the confidence to live fully.

At Helping Humanity Heal, I provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy for Black individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and show up for themselves in ways they never have before. 🫶🏽✨

Therapy isn’t just self-care; it’s self-transformation. Helping Humanity Heal is more than a practice—it’s a movement. My goal is to make mental health support accessible, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive.

At , we believe healing is a ripple effect—when one person heals, entire communities grow. This is about breaking cycles, redefining wellness, and ensuring Black individuals and families have the tools to thrive.

Here’s to healing 🫶🏽✨
