    I answer questions too. Here you will find interviews and stories about me.

    Peeling Back the Layers of Your Life

    Peeling Back the Layers of Your Life® podcast is a place where ordinary people go to reveal their greatness. Host Loronda C. Giddens interviews ordinary people who become extraordinary when they share their greatness with the world. A conversational style format gives guests a comfortable space to share how they transformed their life to reveal their greatness.

    In this episode, we spoke about my experience living in Ghana, building a business, and how living abroad enabled me to own my freedom.

    Hosted by Joseph-Albert Kuuire, “Open Conversations” is a podcast where Joseph and his guests have open and honest discussions about various topics including dating, religion, marriage, entertainment, and anything else that comes to mind.

    In this episode, we talk about being creative in Ghana, the Parasite movie, and Ghana’s Year of Return.

    Why I Write: Virtual Book Launch & Author Social

    The Adventures of Pamela King is a children’s book series by Julia Montanez. In this interview series, she hosted authors, speakers, writers, and content creators to talk about their careers and answer the question “why I write.”

    In this episode, we talked about my journey as a journalist and creative, the mindset around Africa, and why endless opportunities await all of us when we choose to start.

  • Journalist – African Diaspora News Channel

    Journalist – African Diaspora News Channel

    The African Diaspora News Channel is a platform that produces content on international news, social commentary, travel, and health. The team and content is dedicated to connecting the African diaspora one story at a time. I contributed multi-media news reports to the platform, covering innovation, culture, and positivity throughout Africa and Africa’s diaspora. Below is the content I produced.

  • Producer/Artist – Stop The Pipeline

    Producer/Artist – Stop The Pipeline

    “Stop The Pipeline” is a music video, public service announcement, educational tool, and news supplement attempting to fill the gap between those affected by the school-to-prison pipeline and those who should be paying attention to the pipeline.

    The purpose of my thesis, a.k.a. masters report, is to focus on the school-to-prison pipeline and the need to intervene with school discipline that pushes students out of the classroom and into the criminal justice system. It showcases services and programs in Austin, Texas, including Southwest Keys, Webb Youth Court, and Council for At-Risk Youth as examples for solutions. My report incorporates research and expert advice on the safety and well-being of students while advocating a need to change the policies and culture surrounding schools.

    This media project is my contribution to innovative journalism. A form of storytelling that connects viewers, educates listeners, and inspires all. I know initiatives like this tend to spur conversation, but I hope it also leads to action that really makes a difference.

  • Journalist – Oldways’ African Heritage & Health Program

    Journalist – Oldways’ African Heritage & Health Program

    Oldways’ African Heritage & Health Program is hosting a pilot community cooking class in 15 locations nationwide. In Austin, TX, the class is instructed by Toni Tipton-Martin, food journalist and founder of SANDE Youth Project and The Jemima Code: Pop-up Exhibit & Book, and Sarah Dwyer, Program Manager for Oldway’s African Heritage & Health Program. I attended one of their classes at the George Washington Carver Museum and had a wonderful time. Toni and Sarah integrate history, education, and cooking in a fun way that is easy to relate to and intriguing to continue. I hope their pilot series develops into a permanent program.

  • Journalist – The Victory Grill

    Journalist – The Victory Grill

    The Victory Grill is a historic venue in East Austin, Texas. Opened in 1945, it has hosted famous local and national blues artists, witnessed the consequences of segregation and urban gentrification, and served as a community base. The Victory Grill’s story has been undocumented, until now. This documentary portrays the Victory Grill’s legacy, impact, and possible future.

    I worked with a fantastic team – Nick Swartsell (Journalist) and Alex Curry (Scholar) – to produce this film. It took us about three months to gather background information, find and interview artists and community members, attend events at the Victory Grill, and edit all of the footage. We are hoping this film will help garner increased attention and appreciation for the Victory Grill and its role in East Austin’s heritage.
