Building communities and disrupting the status quo through creative storytelling.

About Me

  • As a Black creative and communications strategist, I understand how culture, media, and narrative influence policy, power, and belonging. For most of my career, I've been interested in one central question: how do we tell stories that move people toward justice? This question has shaped over a decade of work in communications, branding, and advocacy storytelling. Today, I lead communications and creative strategy for mission-driven organizations, helping shape narratives that are clear, compelling, and rooted in purpose. I believe strategic storytelling can build trust, challenge harmful narratives, and help people see one another more fully.
