ABOUT ME

I launched my first company twenty years ago as a college sophomore and have dedicated my career to empowering LGBTQ+ businesses and creatives. Working with innovative clients in event production, talent management, community programming, and corporate spaces, I am on a mission to continue bringing BIPOC, Queer, and Trans people to the forefront of entertainment and culture by sourcing and securing talent and working closely to produce digital media content. As a creator, I also work as a professional content creator, public speaker, mentor, and writer. I have successfully launched four LGBTQIA+-focused companies and predominantly work with independently owned brands, partnering them with large corporations for funding and support. I continue to work passionately to create spaces for LGBTQIA+ Black, Indigenous, and Non-Black POC people to thrive and succeed. My work and contributions have generated millions of viewers across social media platforms, millions in sponsorship deals, and hundreds of partnerships globally.
