ABOUT
Who am I
Through bold, intentional storytelling, I amplify the voices of the communities to which I belong and elevate the changemakers who are reshaping the future.
To learn more about me and my work, check out these 4 fast facts:
1. I’m from the rural Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Have you ever heard of the Blue Ridge Parkway or the second-oldest river in the world, the New River? Yeah, that’s us!
2. In 2020, I graduated from the largest public HBCU in the country, North Carolina A&T State University, with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and Mass Communication (Aggie Pride). And in 2022, I graduated with a Master of Science in Public Communications from Syracuse University's Newhouse School.
3. Currently, I work with The 19th, an award-winning national nonprofit news outlet that covers the intersections of gender, politics, power and policy. I tell stories about Black women-led movements and student-led movements.
4. Along with my best friend Makayla Williams, we co-founded MarketBoxx, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works to support economically disadvantaged college students who experience food insecurity, poverty and adversity by providing essential needs in one box. We have fed HBCUs like North Carolina Central University, Texas Southern University and North Carolina A&T State University. Our goal is to feed every HBCU in the country.
