Culture Host, Communications Strategist, Speaker

I'm an award-winning storyteller, strategist and media professional. My work has taken me from New York City newsrooms and global entertainment events to African markets, international organizations including The United Nations, and creative spaces across more than 20 countries. My background spans broadcast journalism, real estate, brand strategy, institutional communications, campaigns and experiences across cultures and industries.

After years of living and working between worlds, I returned to Liberia. Today, I'm exploring what happens where people, ideas, stories, culture and commerce meet.

A media  & culture platform exploring people, stories, identity, & the worlds we move across.

My work takes shape
 in three ways: 

Host, speaker and moderator bringing ideas, people and conversations to life.

Strategic communications & storytelling for brands and institutions building with Africa.
