web strategy and design
As Digital Marketing Manager at EJI, I led web strategy with MADEO Creative Studio to redesign EJI’s main website. The project earned a 2020 Webby Award for Best Nonprofit Website.
TKO is the only Black, Trans-led healthcare organization in the state of Alabama. I had the honor of working with them to retell their story, update their mission, and redesign their entire site from scratch.
For the release of the film, Just Mercy (based on Bryan Stevenson’s bestselling book) we made a microsite telling the true story and the people behind the film. Working alongside MADEO Creative Studio, we crafted language and imagery that helps people learn more about EJI’s work.
Based on EJI’s award-winning “A History of Racial Injustice” calendar, we created a website and daily newsletter that helps people learn about the history of racial injustice in the United States.
Montgomery Pride United is the only LGBTQ+ center serving the city of Montgomery, Alabama. I mapped and redesigned their entire website to tell the story of their trailblazing work in the Deep South.
The Trans Housing Coalition is an Atlanta based, Trans-led and founded organization that aims to aid chronically homeless Black Trans women. I am currently helping tell their story and redesign their entire website.
Alongside the MADEO Creative Studio, we designed an entire site of EJI’s books and merchandise. I also commissioned product photography that best highlighted the rich, important books published by the organization.
I helped create a portfolio for Google Fiber that comprehensively told the story of its social impact in the community and what free, fast Internet can do for communities across the country (especially for those in public housing, low-broadband areas).
creative work
In 2022, I spent six months documenting, photographing, and interviewing folks at the Knights and Orchids Society (Alabama’s only Black, trans-led healthcare organization). The culmination of this project is Black Trans Futures - a multimedia art project that highlights how Black, trans communities are creating better futures in Alabama despite hate legislation.
In 2017, I helped lead the strategy and communications for the opening of Google’s first-ever community space for nonprofits. With over 500 nonprofits using the space, free-of-charge, in the first year of operation
social impact campaigns
Google x EJI partnered to help digitize EJI’s important report surrounding America’s history of racial injustice. Along with digitization, I worked alongside Google’s Brand Studio to craft a digital promotion plan, planned television appearances, and organized lesson plans that brought this report to the forefront. The project earned a 2017 Webby Award for Best Social Cause Campaign
In 2017, Google people #ShowUp for LGBTQ+ communities in their area. By entering a zip code, you could find the nearest marches and LGBTQ+ nonprofits to support on Google Maps. #ShowUp included 38 short films by Google on leaders, activists, and marches across the country alongside a social campaign asking people why they #showup for Pride. My role involved designing a digital media strategy along with influencers to expand the reach of this campaign across the US. The project earned a 2018 Webby Award for Best Corporate Social Responsibility Campaign.
Google helped document global Pride parades using 360° cameras and as part of this effort, I coordinated the distribution of 10,000 Cardboard headsets around the world to bring Pride to those who could not march in person. This distribution led to a mini-documentary we created for a nonprofit organization in Bogotá, Colombia. The nonprofit organization was able to expand its efforts on LGBTQ+ education with the Ministry of Technology in Colombia.
For Black History Month in 2018, I worked with Google Arts and Culture to create a multi-video campaign with three influencers (Nas, Yara Shahidi, and Angela Rye). Each of them used artifacts, art, and music to speak about their Black influences in history and how it made them who they are today.
