Meet Your Author:
My love of writing began in childhood, when I was first diagnosed with expressive language disorder. I was told I was incapable of expressing myself through written language or spoken word the way others could with ease. As a result, I struggled to find my voice. I desperately searched for the right words to articulate my feelings—from my first girl crush to the first boy I liked. Poetry became my first true avenue of self-expression. It allowed me to finally write the words I could never say aloud.
Poetry became my inner world given form. As I grew, so did my writing. In 2016, I was inspired to create my own poetry book, but it wasn’t until the pandemic in 2020 that I finally followed through. That’s when Lit Soul: My Journey Back to Faith was born.
This collection brought together poetry I had written from childhood through adulthood—my growth and life experiences documented on paper. In 2020, I also wrote a new piece called Who You Are. It didn’t feel like it was meant to remain a poem, so I transformed it into a standalone children’s book centered on self-love and acceptance.
Children are constantly fighting for their right to individuality and self-worth. For many adults, this becomes a lifelong struggle. Alongside my writing, I work with children with disabilities in school settings. This hands-on experience has reinforced a truth I deeply believe: no matter their story, every child is human, deserving of respect, dignity, and the freedom to be who they are.
Writing children’s books has been incredibly cathartic. In 2022, I released Super Gay, a book dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community that focuses on pronouns and identity. I also published Colorless, a children’s book inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. I continue to create children’s books, series (including YouTube releases), and young adult work—all rooted in empowerment, representation, and inclusion.
In November 2023, I appeared in Netflix’s Escaping Twin Flames, where I spoke out against a cult that targets and exploits the disabled community. As a survivor of coercive control and an advocate for people with disabilities, I used that platform to stand for inclusion and awareness.
In 2025, I was late-diagnosed as an Autistic adult with ADHD. My original diagnosis of expressive language disorder was a misdiagnosis—a reflection of a healthcare system historically built for white, cisgender men. Receiving my true diagnosis has transformed my understanding of myself and the world around me. Living authentically after a lifetime of masking has been a powerful and healing experience.
Growing up queer and disabled comes with stigma. You are underestimated and forced to prove yourself in a world that often overlooks you. Children with disabilities are rarely highlighted in meaningful ways, and education around disability is often limited unless you live it or work within it. These children are extraordinary human beings, and they inspire every story I write.
I write in accessible language—often through poetry and children’s literature—so that everyone can see themselves reflected in stories and experience the joy of reading at any age.
