In her role as a Professional Writer, it is important to T’keyah to maintain a commitment to writing on socio-economic issues to help foster a culture of discourse and learning that can lead in part, to progressive change. 

 

Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, T’keyah embraces the diversity and intersectionality of her identity as a young, Caribbean, multiracial, and immigrant woman. T’keyah’s experiences have given her a unique perspective of our society.

 

With this perspective, she has helped organizations develop a better understanding of client needs, contributed to more informed decision-making, and continues to advocate on behalf of her global community and the issues affecting them.

When she isn’t writing, T’keyah enjoys kickboxing, travel, life as a NY sports fan, and quality time with family and friends—which as a self-proclaimed foodie, usually involves something delicious.
