I’m a filmmaker, strategist, and creative producer building story-driven campaigns, spaces, and films rooted in the South.
As founder of RED SQUARED, a Jackson-based media company, I’ve led award-winning documentaries and advocacy campaigns across Mississippi and the U.S., amplifying voices at the intersection of culture, equity, and transformation. My work blends narrative, strategy, and design to shift how institutions engage the communities they serve.
I’ve worked with organizations like the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, FoodCorps, and the USDA, and my work has been featured by Atlanta Public Broadcasting, The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, and film festivals around the country.
