Nine years ago, on January 27, 2017, I went through a deeply personal and public legal process that resulted in a not-guilty verdict. It was one of the hardest, most painful, periods of my life. While the court resolved the case, I was absolutely devastated, and deeply hurt, but I still had to take responsibility for my own growth and healing. 

This experience reshaped how I show up in the world, and I am forever grateful for the experience that taught me humility, accountability, and the healing power of listening.

Since then, I’ve focused on serving my community, supporting single Dad’s and families, and advocating for systems that are compassionate, fair, and people-centered.

I understand some people may have questions and concerns. MeToo and cancel culture are real and I welcome those conversations. Leadership isn’t about pretending you’ve never struggled or suffered; it’s about learning, growing, and showing up with integrity.
