About
I have written over thirty articles addressing diversity within the PR industry, entrepreneurship, mental health, empowerment, beauty, fashion and more. My work as a writer has granted me a feature in The Black Women in Media's newsletter and awarded me as CREA Global Awards Recipient for 2023.
As a Content Creator my mission is centered around storytelling and empowerment. I have partnered and collaborated with nearly ten beauty brands such as Dove, Suave, bhs, NYU, Michiru, and HipOptical to promote their products utilizing my original ideation and creative skills via Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and my Blog. My work has lead to a content feature for HipOptical.
As a singer-songwriter, I have produced, written, and sung two original songs and have sang and crafted a music video with a storyline for the aria Caro Mio Ben. My work as a singer has granted me an Artist Feature for African American Music Appreciation Month in 2021 by Bronze Magazine.
