Graphic Designer and Podcast Producer
February 2021 – Present

Ranked in the top 10 of the “100 Best LGBT Podcasts” by FeedSpot, Our Black Gay Diaspora Podcast is a global biweekly podcast where Black LGBTQ professionals share about their countries and professions.

Guests include Executive Director at PEOPLE Magazine Jeremy Helligar, Cameron Johnson, Executive Producer of the CW series Tom Swift and Cyril Nri, a BAFTA-nominated British actor.

I conceived, host and produce the podcast, as well as research, record and edit each episode. I seek interesting interviewees in advocacy, entertainment, mental health and other professions.

As the social media marketer, I designed the logo and create videos to promote the podcast, increase followers and announce new episodes.
