Storyteller • Advocate • Military Brat • Wife • Mom • Planetary Optimist
Estella is a multidisciplinary storyteller, planetary optimist, and globe-trotting mama whose work celebrates curiosity, culture, and community. A self-described eclectic savant, she blends her love for humanity, technology, and heritage into trans formative stories that inspire and uplift.
Rooted in a deep passion for child welfare, she holds a background in sociology with a focus on protecting families. Her early work in protective services ignited a lifelong advocacy for systemic change—particularly in perinatal health, infant loss, and adoption. Today, through initiatives like Connec2NICU and the Jul Lao Foundation, she continues to champion equity and healing for families navigating life's most tender transitions.
Through her creative ventures, Estella defies categorization:
At Estella Creates, she crafts whimsical, culturally rooted children’s books and AI-powered tools designed with Black brilliance and joy at the center.
On African Roots Storytime (YouTube), she resurrects ancestral wisdom and global folktales, blending the oral tradition with fresh visual storytelling for children everywhere.
Her Medium blog serves as a living mosaic of essays—ranging from NICU reflections and global travel diaries to romance book reviews and sci-fi fandom explorations.
As a homeschooling mom blending Waldorf, Charlotte Mason, and Montessori philosophies, Estella infuses learning with play, purpose, and pride. Her lessons, like her stories, center the magic and resilience of the African Diaspora, inviting young learners to explore their world through a lens of liberation and cultural reverence.
Whether she’s writing under the stars, sipping spiced cashew milk, or planning her next educational adventure, Estella invites you to join her journey—where every story heals, every voice matters, and every child shines.
