I grew up in a low-income, single-parent home in Boston, first dreaming of becoming an inventor. In my early teens, I learned to write songs and logically set my sights on becoming a rockstar. But my time as a rapper/producer taught me how much messages matter – how stories can inspire, heal, or harm. 

That insight became the foundation of my professional journey. I built The Message, a social enterprise that’s reached thousands of teens across the U.S. and Canada, helping them build media literacy skills and find their voice. Today, I also partner with mission-driven organizations to strengthen their messaging and storytelling, and work 1:1 with individuals to align their mindsets, actions, and goals. 

Along the way, I navigated profound loss and grief, and rebuilt my faith. I’ve learned how healthy self-talk, empathy, humility, and the right kind of crazy can change everything. 

But this isn’t about me. It’s about you: your message, story, and goals. Whether you’re an educator, organization, or someone who’s feeling a little stuck, I’m here to help.
