About
l am a scholar and creative strategist and I founded SJB Expressions in 2021. SJB Expressions has grown the old fashioned way, through community, conversation, and word of mouth. It lived in referrals, shared flyers, and quiet recommendations between people who needed something real and found it here. By 2025, people from different cities started reaching out, and it became clear that going virtual was the next step.
At the heart of SJB Expressions is the belief that every voice deserves to be heard, and every idea deserves to be understood. My mission is to make complex ideas accessible by breaking down barriers of language, culture, and communication.
​
I was born and raised in Haiti, where I completed my primary education at L'Institution du Sacré-Coeur before migrating to the United States in 2008. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Queens College, City University of New York in 2013, where I became a Mellon Mays Fellow. I moved to Chicago in 2013, where I completed my Master's in Sociology in 2016 and, in 2024, my doctorate in Sociology from Loyola University Chicago.
​
As an academic, I dove deeply into post-coloniality, racial formation, and the ways people of color navigate systems of power. I've presented at institutions including the University of Illinois Chicago and the Leather Archives Museum on topics of leadership, identity, and community organizing. ​I work primarily with artists, creatives, community leaders, and activists.
If you, or your organization are doing meaningful work and need a skilled communicator in their corner to help their message land with the impact it deserves, I'd love to connect.
