My name is Prophet. I am guided by spirits of art, education, connection, and revolution. I'm queer, as in 'if what you do ain't harming others - we good.' - and - 'we stand for liberation for marginalized peoples here'. Now that we're clear, I welcome you.

My life, as all of our lives, is a series of transitions. From pro-sports to HBCU scholarship. From the Black Church Choir to lifting my voice in hoodoo ceremonies. From the DMV (childhood upbringing) to NYC (trans-boyhood upbringing) and back to Maryland again. From STEM to Social Work to combining those forces to rediscover, modernize, and share generational Black solutions to our every-day ailments to the public.
