I started my broadcast communications career in conjunction with the business of fashion. I have expanded into Christian ministry through Prophetic Release, and legal journalism through Kingdom Column.
I graduated from Marquette University with a bachelor's degree in Broadcast Communications, and earned my master's degree at Columbia College Chicago in Business and Entrepreneurship. Marquette University is the home to one of the most prestigious law schools in the United States, which was reinforced in my course work. I also graduated from the Marquette University's Upward Bound and McNair Scholars programs. Columbia College Chicago's broad range of business coursework and media connections helped me swiftly launch my career in television.
When I was 14 years old I decided to give up television for lent. About two weeks later, when my fast ended, I turned on my television. The first thing I saw was a teen forum show. That day I knew I would build a successful career in television where I would use my voice to serve others. Fast forward eight years from my lent fast; God opened my first television career door. I was offered an opportunity to be a television content producer and fashion reporter for WCIU-TV in Chicago and began building my media legacy from there. I also contributed to ABC 7 Chicago, NBC's Steve Harvey Show, and WGN-TV. This is one testimony of how God blesses us when we love Him, and sacrifice for Him.
My professional experiences are multifaceted. I have produced, hosted, and edited collectively over 400 exciting and uplifting fashion-related shows for local, national, and international platforms. I currently work in healthcare, and previously worked in education, banking, and real-estate. In addition, I served as the Founder and Executive Director of Empower Our Youth, a 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organization serving at risk youth in Milwaukee, WI. I provided classes on college readiness, financial literacy, and career building; an etiquette Black and White Ball; and wrote a grant to Great Lakes that financed an out-of-state colleges tour to Atlanta, Georgia for nearly 40 students and their parents combined.
