The journey is the destination.

I study and design systems that support justice, wellness, and collective wellbeing.

My path has always been about building systems of care and resistance. I first became active in Los Angeles with African American Women United for Peace & Justice during the buildup to the Iraq War. A decade later, I was a founding member of the Occupy Student Debt Campaign and Strike Debt. Together, we launched the 1T Day campaign, which helped shift the national conversation on student debt, and the Rolling Jubilee, which directly abolished millions of dollars in medical debt. I co-authored the Debt Resistors’ Operations Manual and Shouldering the Costs, and my writing has appeared in Social Text, South Atlantic Quarterly, Tikkun, In These Times, and many other outlets. My work and commentary have been featured on Democracy Now!, MSNBC’s Up with Chris Hayes, The Laura Flanders Show, and The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann.

I’ve been an adjunct professor of sociology and taught Sociology 101 at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and the Sociology of Debt at The New School. Alongside teaching and writing, I contributed to progressive media as a columnist for Tidal Magazine and a co-host of WBAI’s Pacifica Morning Show. In 2015 I traveled to Occupied Palestine with fellow filmmakers and organizers to document resistance and liberation struggles.

As an entrepreneur, I built Align Brooklyn into a top-ranked boutique wellness studio. Today, I run Hello Flourish, my consulting practice that helps wellness founders design systems, strategy, and sales rooted in values and sustainability.

I studied philosophy at Dartmouth College, film in Columbia University’s MFA program, and hold master’s degrees in Media Studies and Sociology from The New School.

Across each chapter of my life—activist campaigns, academic teaching, media work, and business building—my work has been rooted in the belief that lasting change comes through justice and healing—transforming how we build, connect, and create value together.
