Her presence creates an atmosphere of hope and empowerment where individuals are given a safe space to struggle, the courage to embrace who they are and the power to live out their potential.

Her wisdom and encouragement inspire others to think differently and to embrace a life of Godly adventure, possibility and growth. Those who have had the honor of journeying with her experience interior freedom, ongoing life transformation and go on to become social workers, teachers, social justice advocates, lawyers, good neighbors, community leaders and much more. Michelle has been featured on TEDx stages, Good Morning America, local news stations and papers, in youth-focused guidebooks, training modules, fundraisers, business luncheons, college panels, parent and leadership conferences, etc. to speak on the topic of mental and spiritual health and its impact on our communities.
But the accomplishment she’s most proud of is her children. She describes them as some of the greatest human beings on the planet. They are the fruit of her labor and the pride of her life.
