BORN & RAISED IN RURAL GEORGIA
Disciplined days on the land led to collaborations with photographers of London-based ad agency M&C Saatchi. That global campaign celebrated Black cowboys, launching my career as a stylist and creative director. With marketing teams for iconic brands Justin Boots, Durango Boots, and Wrangler. With the United Kingdom’s biggest-selling Black publication, Black Beauty & Hair.
Today, I serve as a creative strategist and communications consultant within the outdoor industry. I've guided U.S. Department of Agriculture research grants, ensuring Black Belt Region producers and their narratives are heard throughout national headlines.
