So, when the pandemic hit and I was stuck within the walls of my home during quarantine, my creative wheels, naturally, started turning. In April 2020, my dear friend Sherene Hulugalle (of Wisteria Lane), and I put our brains together to create […]

I had two primary responsibilities. The first, and most important, was to provide anxiety relief to the […]

“running” into myself In 2018, I ran three half marathons – not to say that I just got off the couch and started running one day. At this point, I took a lot of indoor cycling classes and hadn’t actually gone on a jog since high school soccer. Even then, my teammates were well aware […]
