My name is Faith. I am a seeker, a wordsmith, and a storyteller who has dedicated her life to awakening souls. I play with the sound, texture, and intention of words to invite moments of immense presence and humanity. The result is sensational, self-aware, and dualistic wordplay that bridges the philosophical gap between Eastern and Western Traditions falling somewhere in between poetry and prose.

 

I was born in Harlem, steeped in culture and history. I noticed from a young age that the arts were everywhere, in everything, in every moment. I reveled in liberated expression able connect to the magic of quotidian existence. The arts quickly became a place of healing, transformation, and invention where I could experience and express the full breadth of life. Cultivating a curiosity that activated a lifelong love of learning, the performing arts have allowed me to invoke my authentic voice and unearth my innate wisdom.

 

I am forever a student seeking the soul of it all. A graduate of New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, I created and defended my concentration: Celebrate Multiplicity Reintegrating the Self through Creative Presence—a practical, philosophical, psychological, and historical investigation into the split self and holistic methods of healing through the presence of the arts. I am an advocate for artistic expression as a basic human need. At Gallatin, I cultivated an interdisciplinary lens that energizes narratives across the spectrum. I thrive in conversation. I am energized by collaboration. I have devoted my life to helping others to fully realize their visions, attain their creative goals, and seize their highest potential.

​​

Celebrating my multiplicity, I have walked many paths in life and sampled many roles along the way. Some have stuck, and others were merely a season and exploration. I have been a Maitre D', an Actor, a Model, a Teacher, a Manager, a Script Supervisor, Personal Assistant, a Stylist, and the list goes on. I’ve worked in real estate, retail, non-profits, publishing, hospitality, performance, film, theater, commercial, and events. These roles have made me a versatile asset wholeheartedly invested in every project, in every collaboration. 

 

In 2015, I co-wrote a show titled 'Root of Water' performed at the Alchemical Theater in New York City. Since then, my poetry has been published in online publications (Blackmail Reader, Digging Through the Fat, WNYC) and a print literary magazine tNY (a.k.a. the Newer York). I’ve performed in bars and parks, at theaters and concert venues, on rooftops and the radio, accompanied by dance, music, painting, film, even live illustration. From 2016 to 2019, I was a Full-Time Artist-in-Residence at the Byrdcliffe Art Colony in Woodstock, New York. In 2020, I launched a fundraising campaign, amassing over $20,000 to produce my first book.

Five years ago, I embarked on a new destiny as a Mother. I now have two magical kiddos and embrace a life of tremendous presence and intense growth. I am currently Editor at Do It For the Cocktail Culture, collaborating on a NYC Black History book. I am world-building a series, writing a novel, and sketching out a few children's books. I am also rededicating myself to the catharsis of poetry and creating a curriculum about Self-Knowledge and Identity Formation rooted in the creative arts, inspired by my original course of study, which began 23 years ago: seeking to touch the divine in my earthiness and dance in the duality of existence.
