About

CV/Résumé

I’m a multimedia designer, digital content producer, writer, and podcast producer with more than 20 years of experience creating visual communications, multimedia content, and compelling stories for corporate, nonprofit, and public audiences.

My career began in graphic design, where I created presentations, marketing materials, digital assets, and web content for one of the world’s leading investment banks. Today, I combine that design expertise with podcast production, writing, motion graphics, and digital storytelling to help organizations and audiences connect through meaningful content.

I’m the creator, host, and producer of Our Black Gay Diaspora, an internationally recognized podcast that sits at the intersection of culture, identity, and global storytelling. I’ve produced more than 140 episodes featuring Black LGBTQIA+ changemakers representing 28 countries and 45 professions. I manage every stage of production—from research and guest outreach to recording, editing, design, publishing, and promotion.

As a freelance multimedia designer, I’ve developed logos, branding, motion graphics, promotional videos, conference materials, and presentation designs for nonprofit, educational, and corporate clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sweden.

I have written for Orion Publishing Group and been featured in publications including Queerty’s Native Son, Krull Magazine, and Substack. My work explores the histories, experiences, and perspectives of Black LGBTQ+ communities and others across Africa, Europe, and North and South America.

I’m honored to have been quoted in Forbes, where Our Black Gay Diaspora was also recognized. I was named to the National Black Justice Collective’s “2025 Cohort of 100 Black LGBTQ+/SGL Emerging Leaders to Watch” and invited to speak at the Brothers of the Desert 7th Annual Wellness Summit and the Gay Men of Integrity Leadership Summit.

I’m always interested in opportunities involving multimedia design, digital content production, podcast production, visual storytelling, branding, and creative collaboration.
