The Village
It takes a village
Childcare, money, safety, and inclusive care, with a focus on the Triangle and North Carolina. The people and places that hold a family up!
Childcare
Where I learned what care looks like
Triumphant Kids
My mom's in-home daycare, Durham, NC
Following in my mom's footsteps, her daycare has been running for 25 years, and I've spent about 15 of them helping out. I tutor K-5 and high school students in chemistry, calculus, and biology, with an average 10-point test score increase.

My mothers and me
To my mothers, with love
The women who raised me show me what motherhood looks like at its best. This is a living letter to them, and I add a note every time they remind me!
