Why Secure Your Oxygen Mask First™

The world teaches us to pour out until we are empty. My philosophy is different: when women secure their own oxygen mask first, they breathe life into every room they enter.   This isn't just wisdom—it's backed by 25+ years of research in health disparities. Through lived experience navigating complex health challenges and contributing peer-reviewed publications to the American Journal of Public Health, I've seen how resilience only thrives when rooted in rest, boundaries, and sacred care. 

The Woman Behind the Research and the Message

 After navigating decades of health challenges—including stage 4 endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, and currently a brain tumor—while building a dynamic public health career, I discovered something profound: our spaces shape our healing, and our healing shapes our lives.  My health journey isn't separate from my professional expertise—it informs it. Every research study I've contributed to, every presentation I give, every sacred space I help create is grounded in both evidence-based practice and lived experience. 


 Today, I stand as proof that you can transform your greatest struggles into your most powerful gifts. As founder of Meraki Life & Style and creator of the Oxygen Lounge community, I help ambitious women create sanctuary spaces that support their highest potential. 

 Resilience isn't martyrdom. It's breathing, resetting, and rising again.

From Research to the TEDx Stage

 My upcoming TEDx UStreet Women presentation "Secure Your Oxygen Mask First" represents the culmination of decades spent researching, experiencing, and teaching the vital importance of self-care as the foundation for service to others.
