Changemaker Stories Are Powerful
I've long believed in the transformative power of stories and I relish profiling thought leaders, change makers, and narrative shifters whose journeys are reshaping their fields and communities. After interviews with them, I write stories that deeply explore the pivotal moments that compelled these remarkable individuals to pivot in their careers, using their experiences to drive social change, uplift others, or preserve important legacies.
Because we often have shared lived experiences, I dedicate my work here to highlighting the inspirational voices and stories of those frequently overlooked in mainstream media. By prioritizing these stories, my goal is to shift the narrative landscape and show the impact these individuals are having on their industries and society. I also write profiles of Black historical figures from 1865 to the present whose stories face erasure today.
Through my significant experience and sharp journalistic insight, I craft compelling and motivational profiles that resonate deeply with readers. I conduct in-depth interviews, research and write these profiles to capture not just the professional achievements of these individuals. But I also show how their personal trials and triumphs defined their paths. These are stories that move people—stories of resilience, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of change.
My historical profiles are also deeply researched, and I interview experts who know the work of the subjects or who knew them personally.
I write stories that advance the thought leadership of these influential figures about societal issues.
Because I have extensive journalism experience, and am a doctoral researcher, I can write these profiles for select mainstream media outlets, too.
