I believe that the right story, told the right way, can shift how institutions see the people they’re supposed to serve.

I'm an entrepreneur and community development practitioner based in Jackson, Mississippi. I build organizations and tell stories that help communities shape their own futures.

As Founder and CEO of RED SQUARED, I lead a strategic communications and film production company working with national foundations, civil rights organizations, and cultural institutions. Much of my career has focused on helping institutions better understand the communities they serve and building the trust necessary to do meaningful work.

I'm also a founding member of JXN FWD Collective, where I've helped shape strategy and advance narrative change through an Anti-Racist Community Development framework alongside ThirdSpace Action Lab. I serve as President of the Business Association of Midtown and on the boards of Midtown Partners and New Stage Theatre. I've also founded FLEET Creative Collective and am developing The Hangar, a creative production facility in Midtown Jackson.

I am also a Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses alumnus, a Mississippi Business Journal Top 40 Under 40 honoree, and a 2025 Southern Foodways Alliance Film Residency fellow.

I believe the people most affected by institutional decisions should have a meaningful role in making them. That belief informs how I lead and the work I choose to do.
