My Story


As a prolific author at the intersection of race, culture, and autism, my latest book, "Autistic and Black: Our Experience of Growth, Progress, and Empowerment," has received acclaim for its in-depth exploration of the unique challenges and triumphs faced by Black autistic individuals.

The Hedonic Flywheel Effect is a terminology I coined, deriving from established principles in Psychology and Business to empower individuals of all neurotypes to discover their passions.

In my free time, you can catch me reading a good book, relearning the piano and how to paint, and going on walks with my husband.



CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

To summarize, I worked in Psychological and UX research settings at Harvard, Oxford, Duke, Harvard Medical School, and as a US Fulbright Scholar. 

I was also named the first Black female Founder Fellow at Silicon Valley's South Park Commons, where I supported the launch of a tech startup valued at over $ 5 million.

I love speaking and writing about how neurodivergent individuals can be a crucial asset in today's AI era, and how others can emulate our thinking and focus. 

I'm Heard

In 2018 I gathered 10 colleagues from across the country to form I’m Heard Inc. I’m Heard is a nonprofit that aims to end the stigma of mental illness in minority communities in the US. In 2020, I’m Heard officially expanded to be a global initiative collaborating with professionals and organizations worldwide.
