“Being a black journalist, I’ve struggled with getting the same opportunity as my peers… So I reached out to a few mentors and decided to join the National Association of Black Journalists, aka NABJ…
I specialize in balancing the good with the bad and I give a voice to the voiceless. As a journalist, you typically meet people on their worst day for example a tragic car crash or shooting. But you also have to search for those feel-good stories like a child raising money for a local charity or a person who mows the grass for disabled veterans…

current project underway
The Natural Hair Project
A short film encouraging black women to embrace the versatility of their natural hair. And reminding them it’s apart of your culture, but it doesn’t define who you are as a mother, daughter, wife, or a business woman.
Black women have long faced certain prejudices against their natural hair in professional and academic settings. But recently, a movement has been forming to inspire and empower women to embrace their curls, coils and waves. Hair texture has always been a big deal in corporate America, the finer the hair, the better. But the texture of black women’s hair does not take away from their accomplishments, nor does other people’s opinion define their beauty.
written poem
A Black Woman's Crown
Black hair is good hair
Thick or thin
Curly or straight
Waking up before eight, to adjust your crown, because our skin is brown.
From root to tip
Our hair is an extension of the black culture.
This hair is a lifestyle choice, not just a dress code.
Relaxed, Natural, Bald
Locs or an Afro
Our hairstyle is an expression of pride we wear on our head like a crown.
We bond with our mothers styling our mane while dealing with the pain.
Whether it was on the porch, the kitchen, or the living room floor.
Aunties, grandmas, and cousins – together we celebrate the magic that Black hair is.
Hair dark as night and strong enough to swallow the sun.
Big chops, head wraps, blowouts, braids, edges laid!
The texture of our hair only adds to our accomplishments and emphasizes the boldness of our beauty.
So smile sis because what God gave us is beautiful, and every day is a Good Hair Day.
