About the Envoy:
My stories explore big complicated ideas through the personal lens of authentically-lived experiences. Storytelling is my activism— infused with parabolic nuance that supports humanizing our “differences” with the capacity to catalyze positive change. Whether creating content thru my portal TheWallandTheDoor.com or working for hire— High on the Hog | Season2 (Showrunner/Executive Producer); Flint Town (Co-Executive Producer/Story) an eight-part documentary series looking at policing in America through the lens of the Flint Police Dept and the Flint community —my purpose is the same. Amplify the voices of the otherwise unheard.
I’m always #insearchofstory. I’m in search of it right now.
