Stacey is California native, a proud Harlem resident and a soon to be graduate of the Columbia University School of Social Work (Holla!) She hopes to work with adolescents and connect them with unforeseen opportunities. When she is not in the books, she likes to roam the streets of NYC taking advantage of all the randomness it has to offer, discover new restaurants and a good happy hour, dance to any beat she can find and hustle plane tickets to travel. Her interests include photography, traveling, soccer, reading, sleeping, movies and figuring out ways to motivate and inspire young Black and Latino youth. Her next step in life is to turn these interests into activities :) As an up and coming Clinical Social Worker Stacey knows the importance of self-care, so as a guest contributor she will be bringing you ways to mentally, physically and emotionally care for the precious, beautiful and fantabulous you!
