Kali is an artist, coach, storyteller, and creative strategist who uses creativity as a tool of connection, healing, and possibility. She believes stories have the power to introduce inspiration, authenticity, and impact. Kali has built a career rooted in artistry, service, mentorship, self-expression, empowerment, and collectiveness. 

Her journey with ConTextos began as a participant in Into A Black Beyond 2.0 and has evolved into her leadership role as Co-Director. She will continue to help shape and strengthen our healing-centered arts programming; and draw from her experience as an educator, creative, and leader.  

Kali is passionate about creating spaces where people feel empowered to tell their stories, build meaningful connections, experience joy, growth, and belonging. Her skill set and mind aren’t the only things that function very well. The amount of care she gives and shows for people she crosses paths with allows it to be an endless lasting connection built. Kali's love for the work in itself allows her to bring her best foot forward.
