Full Biography

I grew up between Harlem and Paris, moving between cultures and languages long before I understood what they were teaching me: that listening across perspectives, cultures, and languages is a pathway to self-actualization and innovation. At Georgetown and the Sorbonne, where I studied international relations and linguistics, that lesson became a discipline. It shaped who I am today: an artist whose multidisciplinary practice is rooted in vocal artistry and authorship, the founder of the Visionary Leaders Network (VLN), and a creative cultural strategist.

As an award-winning vocalist and composer, I've performed and toured internationally, with appearances on stages, television, and radio. I've composed and performed in many languages and shared stages with Céline Dion, Youssou N'Dour, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Steel Pulse. As an author, I've published work beyond Letters from Traciana, where I now share essays, letters, and musings in English and French, carrying the stories of people and places around the world.

At the heart of my work is Fearless Listening^®, my methodology for redefining the way we listen across languages, cultures, and perspectives for greater innovation. It led me to found the Visionary Leaders Network (VLN), a global media and convening platform. Through VLN, I convene executives, founders, and culture makers for conversations that shape how we lead, create, and live. I also produce original media. Through keynotes, fireside chats, institutional partnerships, and brand collaborations, I've shared this work with hundreds of institutions and organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, the WNBA, the NBA, and One Billion Rising.

I'm a fervent tea drinker, a lifelong notebook keeper, and a borderline-obsessive collector of the small rituals that keep a big life human. They shape the way I show up in every room.

I accept a select number of live performances and musical collaborations around the world, and reserve time for speaking engagements and on-sites. I also welcome conversations with the media and with brand partners whose values align with the work. Begin a conversation here.
