WHY ME?
Self-starter
In August 2017 I decided to start sharing my love of music, a major component of my self-care routine, through a weekly playlist called Scrumptious Sundays. During a period of doubt and uncertainty post-graduation, I turned to what I knew most and built a community out of it. My goal has been to create conversations and serve as a point of inspiration for people looking to hear new music and rediscover old favorites, featuring R&B/soul and hip hop.
Passionate
For two years I served as an ambassador for Pretty Girls Sweat, a movement motivating young women to live healthy and active lifestyles. I produced inspiring social media content reaching over 20,000 people and worked with a team to create fun fitness events involving local instructors from the Western NY area.
Collaborative
For the street dance documentary,
I worked with Visionary Media/ JaSaun Buckner on research about Memphis dance, music and culture as well as outreach to media outlets, social media influencers and dance companies.
