Hello Amazing Human!
“love is an action, never just a feeling” -bell hooks
As a storyteller, I create heart-centered spaces through live performances, interactive workshops, and community engagements. Known for living out loud as a Black Haitian femme artist, I embody courageous truth-telling and vulnerable vibes. It's my purpose to make a collective difference within my local Vermont community and beyond – one story at a time. I truly believe we all have stories worthy of sharing. May we authentically live out loud. It's a gift to yourself and those blessed to witness you.
With gratitude,

Storyteller + Founder of All Heart Inspirations
All Heart's Story
“Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.”
―Audre Lorde
I taught my first storytelling class at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in 2019. I Am My Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams was for Black and brown Vermont residents. These are my closing emcee remarks from the Voices of Color Story Slam on March 10th, 2020.
I reflect on my mental health journey, sharing intimate stories about navigating life with anxiety and depression. Through the art of storytelling, I found healing and it reignited my soul to envision a new purpose.
All Heart Inspirations manifested in the midst of the pandemic, serving as a much-needed light for myself and others. Aspiring to make a collective difference within my local Vermont community and beyond – one story at a time – I have manifested over 100 storytelling offerings.
Thank you for supporting my Black, femme-owned business and vision for this heartfelt work!
