About

Hi! I'm Chris

I am an award-winning author, keynote speaker, and founder. I started my career as a public-school English teacher and later college professor. I received my Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Today my work focuses on emotional health and wellness. I am a mission to help teen and single mothers heal from violence and abuse (trauma), achieve emotional health and wellness, and break the multigenerational cycle of violence, abuse, and teen pregnancy with their children. My work includes:

• Trauma Recovery Coaching - Individual and group coaching.
• Radio Talk Show Host -For two years, I hosted my own radio talk show that focused on trauma recovery. 
• Founder - Teen Moms Anonymous - A ministry and recovery program whose mission is to provide teen mothers and adult mothers who were teen mothers with information, resources, and opportunities to help them thrive and become a more skilled, confident woman and mother. 

I am a single mother. I live in the Upstate of SC with my teenage son. I have successfully navigated single parenthood; however, I know the overwhelming challenges of being a Black single mom. I am using my journey as a single mother to help young single mothers thrive as women and mothers.
