Storytelling
I love stories so relatable they make you wonder if the author has a camera hidden in your kitchen. A podcast so engaging that you sit in the parking lot and finish it before hustling into the grocery store. A book so enthralling that you look up and it’s 3 AM, but you just can’t stop.
I tell stories for a living through corporate marketing work, freelance writing on motherhood, race, faith and politics, and as the host of the UnderTold podcast.
I also get to raise three of the funniest kiddos who keep me entertained with their stories every day.
About
At seventeen, I wrote a letter to my local newspaper outlining the case for why the Confederate Flag didn’t belong at our state house in South Carolina. To my surprise, the letter was published. Decades later, I’m still advocating for everyone’s story to be told, for everyone’s perspective to be included, and for everyone’s value to be respected.
As a marketer, I am keenly committed to storytelling that centers those often left in the margins - underrepresented racial/ethnic/religious groups, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and people across socioeconomic groups.
As a writer, I strive to highlight relatable experiences that we often discuss in the group chat but rarely in public such as the guilt associated with offloading parenting to a caregiver or the challenges of being an outspoken pro choice Christian.
The time people spend with my words, insights or work is a gift I don’t take for granted.
After living in Washington, DC and Los Angeles, California, I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. My roots are in a rural neighborhood called Little Africa, South Carolina. I was educated at Howard University and followed up with a master’s in communication management at the University of Southern California. I love NPR, Thai food, and spending time with my family.
