FOUNDER AND CEO

I was born in San Bernardino, California, but moved to Portland, Oregon, when I was about three. Growing up in NE Portland shaped who I am, and I will always consider it home. From a young age, I had a passion for fashion—captivated by vibrant colors, patterns, and fabrics—but in high school, I struggled with confidence, often choosing comfort over embracing my unique identity. My mother’s guidance and faith helped me understand that true confidence doesn’t come from fitting in but from knowing my identity in Christ.

This realization transformed my perspective, empowering me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace my creativity. I learned that confidence rooted in God allows me to live with purpose and authenticity. With this mindset, I founded Godfidence Apparel—a brand dedicated to inspiring those who have faced similar struggles to find their confidence in God and live boldly every day. Our designs feature faith-based messages and symbols, encouraging people to express their faith and embrace their individuality.

Godfidence Apparel is more than just a brand; it’s a movement that reminds us to live fully, love deeply, and walk confidently into the purpose God has for us. My hope is that every piece serves as a reminder to walk boldly in faith and make a positive impact in the lives of others.

CO-FOUNDER

Coming from a family of Entrepreneurs, fighting to make your dreams a reality has been a lesson I am all to familiar with. In this current business world, it is no longer what you know but who you know.

My hunger for learning and the mentorship I have had has afforded me opportunities and experience that has developed me from a personal, professional, and creative aspect. This process has helped me connect my strengths with my passion.

Since I was young, I was always involved with volunteering and giving back to my community. This has been a part of me that I have been able to use effectively in every aspect of life and look to continue to pursue in this company.

Most importantly, God has given me strength and confidence in communication development and pointed me in the direction of Business Marketing, Public Speaking, Brand Management, Retail and Storytelling.

To put it short: I’m just a kid who’s always growing in manhood; sharing my thoughts with purpose as I learn more about this thing called life and how to live in it...creatively.

CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER

I’m originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, but I’ve called Portland home for nearly a decade now. I am currently working on developing my own company and work as an independent website developer and digital designer. I have a dual Bachelor’s degrees in Visual Design in Computing and Human-Computer Interaction. My education gave me a strong foundation in blending aesthetics with usability, allowing me to create digital experiences that are both beautiful and functional.

My passion for technology started young—I was always fascinated by how things work and how people interact with them. That curiosity led me to a career where I can combine creativity, strategy, and innovation. Today, I help bring people’s ideas to life through design and development. There’s something truly rewarding about watching someone’s vision take shape and knowing I had a hand in making it real.

More than just a career, design is a way I serve others. I believe our gifts are meant to be used for a greater purpose. Being part of this team allows me to create with intention—not just for aesthetics or function, but to make a difference in people’s lives. Everything I do is ultimately rooted in my faith and a desire to use my skills to uplift and serve others, all for God’s glory.

DIRECTORY OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & EVENTS

I am a proud Portland, Oregon native whose journey as an artist, educator, and mentor has been shaped by a deep passion for the arts. From a young age, I found joy and purpose in creative expression—whether through dance, music, or theatre—and quickly recognized its power to heal, connect, and uplift. These early experiences ignited a lifelong commitment to using the arts as a tool for empowerment and community building.

I spent my formative years training in local programs that nurtured my technical skills and artistic voice, laying the groundwork for a career centered around creativity and service. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts from Grambling State University in Louisiana, where I deepened my understanding of the arts as a vehicle for cultural storytelling, education, and social impact. That time of growth reinforced my desire to give back and make meaningful contributions through my craft.

Upon returning to Portland, I had the privilege of performing for three seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers Dance Team—an experience that expanded my professional career while affirming the importance of representation in mainstream performance spaces. Today, I serve as a dance educator in elementary and middle schools across the city, using movement to foster confidence, creativity, and a sense of belonging in young people.

In addition to teaching, I collaborate with nonprofit organizations to provide mentorship and develop youth-centered arts programming. My work is rooted in creating safe, inclusive environments where students can explore their identities, build skills, and imagine bold futures. Whether on stage or in the classroom, my mission is to inspire and empower the next generation through the transformative power of the arts.

CHIEF VISIONARY OFFICER

I am a proud wife, mother of five, and passionate advocate for personal and spiritual growth. I live in the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon, where I balance my roles as a mother and entrepreneur with my deep commitment to supporting others on their journeys. As an author, speaker, spiritual health coach, and entrepreneur, I dedicate my life to helping individuals and families find clarity, purpose, and balance.

Together with my husband, Jeremy, I co-founded Identity Sports Organization and Identity Kids Academy, both of which focus on empowering youth through sports, mentorship, and education. Our mission is to help young people discover their unique identities and live out their full potential, both on and off the field.

In addition to my entrepreneurial work, I serve as a ministering pastor at Tetelestai Ministries/Her Voice Movement and The Collective Church in Portland. Through these ministries, I provide spiritual guidance and leadership, helping individuals connect with their faith, heal spiritually, and find strength in community. I’m deeply passionate about uplifting others and creating spaces where people can find healing, empowerment, and purpose.

My work and personal life are deeply intertwined, as I believe that my faith, family, and entrepreneurial ventures all contribute to one greater mission: to guide others in living authentically and thriving in every area of life.
