Strategy and research
I love ideas - creating, distilling, and revamping them. I believe in tiny experiments and use product thinking toward innovation in journalism. I've written detailed research about varying topics and taken concepts from idea to reality, with documentation.
Inclusion and culture
Creating healthy, inclusive culture goes beyond a single training or worksheet. Journalism - historically - has not served communities of color, much less anyone with a complex, intersecting identities. I'd love to talk to you about how this kind of organization might operate.
Speaking and Training
I've worked with groups on topics like leadership and innovation, vicarious trauma and mental health, change management, and inclusivity and power.
Coaching and Mentoring
I volunteer time for coaching journalists of color weekly. I've also coached and mentored journalists and creators at myriad levels.
