How I Help You Turn History into Impact

Picture
I partner with institutions, educators, and community leaders to:
  • Preserve community memory through oral histories, archives & artifacts
  • Design learning experiences that center heritage in K–12 and higher-ed
  • Activate stories via short documentaries, campaigns & public programs

Story as Strategy: Where Memory Meets Motion

Every project starts with a question: What truth needs to be seen, heard, or preserved?
I bridge anthropology, filmmaking, and cultural preservation to turn oral histories, archival materials, and community insight into projects that move people and shift systems. Rooted in Black storytelling traditions, my approach is research-driven, emotionally resonant, and grounded in social change.
