Essayist, Editor & Non Fiction Book Coach  

Danielle is a Non-Fiction Book Coach for birth workers & maternal health advocates.

I support birth workers in writing to embody their inner authority. If you are a birth worker writing an essay to establish your thought leadership or a book to put that exclamation point on your framework or methodology, my super power is strategy and I can can help you craft a book proposal or an essay that helps you call in the opportunities you dream about. If this is you sign up for my private podcast series called Birthing Authority.

Danielle is the founding editor developing The Black Matrescence Review.

TMBR is a literary magazine publishing creative nonfiction and art exploring the psychological, cultural, and embodied dimensions at the intersections of black identity and matrescence.

Danielle is an essayist who believes in the power of narrative inquiry to awaken, heal, and restore.

Her current book projects invite readers into a process of literary healing through narrative inquiry, reflection, and self-regard. Through her literary company she helps those impacted by maternal abuse and adverse child birth experiences use writing as a path to restoration. She is the creator of the Write Your Mother Wound Story project. Her most recent essay A Sister’s Salve was published in No Contact: Writers on Estrangement.
