Building a Legacy with Intentionality, Beauty, and a Holistic Approach
Since 2009, I have dedicated my career to working at the intersections of creativity, storytelling, and social impact. Always a woman after myself, my life experiences have been full. I am now documenting a creative's journey into inheritance, holistic real estate development, and being an advocate for conscious, well, and inclusive cities. Sharing the pivot into real estate development, inheriting my family's properties, and building a legacy of my own as a holistic developer is the vision.
HOLISTIC REDEMPTIVE REAL ESTATE
For you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself
JEREMIAH 32:8
Right of Inheritance is a series dedicated to the documentation of my redemptive real estate practice of my great grandmother's house and land as well as my Aunt's condo. Inheriting their properities were life changing both professionally and personally.

Holding on to Stefy's Place
I inherited the home of my dear aunt, Stephanie, my Dad's middle sister whom I affectionately and respectfully called Aunt Stefy. To have an aunt like my Aunt Stefy was a blessing.
​
Nestled in Germantown with mid-century bohemian decor, Aunt Stefy's was always a special place. Family heirlooms, fashion magazines, take out from fancy restaurants, personalized stationery, and house plants were all of the things I looked forward to experiencing at Aunt Stefy's. She had "rich Auntie vibes" since way back when.

I am proudly sharing an Inheritance project-Stefy's place here. It is an intimate documentation of inheritance, generational wealth through real estate, and a story of archiving

Rebuilding Big Mama's House
For the past three years, I have devoted my time and my skillsets to learning all that I can about redemptive real estate development, beautification, and restoration of land in underserved communities. What has bloomed from that is my first legacy development project in honor of Eunice Alma Harris Jones Malone.

Approaching real estate through a holisitic lens
Inspired by my first real estate investment which was my Big Mama's home, my redemptive real estate practice goes beyond a transaction, it is writing new chapters. Its mission is deeply rooted in healing generational harm or loss, redeeming our birthright of ownership, and creating generational wealth.
​​
The pursuit is through a holistic lens honoring heritage and preservation, addressing systemic barriers, and offering education, financial tools, and restorative pathways for families to keep, restore, or reclaim properties that are of historical and emotional significance.

An Evolution as a Creative
Purchasing my great grandmother's home almost four years ago, completing my first placemaking cohort and ULI Memphis REDI Cohort, and now working creatively with a nonprofit organization- everything is shifting.
​
Professionally, I have been motivated to continue to grow in my career. I'm deeply motivated to learn about city planning and development, especially with a focus on neurodivergency and conscious cities, because I'm fascinated by how thoughtful design can shape the way people live, move, and connect in urban spaces. From zoning laws to public transportation, every element plays a role in creating cities that are sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant.
As I dive into this journey, I’ll be documenting what I learn on my blog sharing insights, reflections, and real world examples. My goal is not just to track my progress but to build a space where others interested in city planning can learn and engage alongside me.
