My philosophy of what I believe I'm meant to do:
I am seeking opportunities to positivity inspire my community, nation, and world through storytelling. I believe we can better envision the holistic picture by openly addressing a subject from all angles without bias and crafting visually informative content.
By using cross-platformed multi-media, we can bridge the gaps in generational, socially economic, racial, and religious prospective to diversely obtain a greater understand of one-another. I attempt to do this by giving a voice to those who don’t have one in traditional media. Through this process, I have reflectively found that people are not different, but rather seeking the same thing for their selves and their loved ones.
