Stacey is the creator, writer and host of the YouTube Channel “ADHD is the New Black”, where she raises awareness about ADHD in Black women, women of color, and all Colorful People. Because of the positive impact and reach of ADHD is the new Black, she was presented the “Early Influencer Award” by CHADD at the 2022 International Conference of ADHD. Stacey’s energy and gift for communication, connection and encouragement was developed during her years as an on-air news anchor, comedy writer and standup comedian. Her ability to see the humor in pain became her coping mechanism for getting fired from 17 waitressing jobs in NYC during a five-year period due to “poor organizational skills.” Thanks, ADHD!
