Trampolines, Mormons, and Braids: Lessons from Growing is a true story about a childhood adventure gone wrong, family dynamics, growing up black in Utah in the 90s, and what it means to be an outsider - all brought to life with audio clips, photos, and plenty of hijinks.

Her stories showcase the subtle ways we other one another through our beliefs, and are inspired by her experience growing up as an extreme minority in Utah. As a Utah native & NYC resident for the past 9 years, she knows far more uses for jello than she'd like to admit.
