BELIEFS
I believe stories have the power to change the world if you capture people’s hearts and imaginations.
I believe artists and creators have a social responsibility to reckon with who gets to tell whose stories and to whom?
And I believe how we create stories is just as important as which stories we tell.
VALUES
Curiosity
Everyone has a story to tell.
Equity
Everyone should have equal access to opportunities and outcomes.
Serenity
Stories are dramatic but the creative environment can be peaceful and supportive.
MISSION
I use my gift of storytelling to curate and craft experiences that promote curiosity, equity, and serenity.
