Vocal Video Reel

Role: Featured Performer & Artist · Skills: Vocal performance, storytelling, media presentation, personal branding

My vocal video reel represents my work as a vocalist, performer, storyteller, and media personality. My role was to present my voice, artistic identity, performance style, and professional brand through video, communicating emotion, musical interpretation, presence, and message in a way that connects with viewers. A strong reel is not just about showing talent; it is about creating a clear and memorable experience for the audience.

Impact: The reel gives potential clients, employers, collaborators, and audiences a direct sample of my creative work, useful for auditions, bookings, collaborations, and portfolio presentation. I selected it because performance is one of the foundations of my creative identity.

Build A Bridge: Program Blueprint

Role: Lead Visionary & Creative Strategist · Skills: Creative direction, cultural strategy, program planning, civic engagement, nonprofit communication

Build A Bridge is an arts-based civic healing initiative connected to Selym Inc. (Creative Arts Empowerment Network), with support from Melvin K Myles LLC. Its tagline: “Healing divides through music, story, dialogue, and shared humanity.” The mission is to create arts-based civic healing experiences that bring people together across difference, to listen deeply, tell the truth, restore dignity, and build relationships rooted in shared humanity.

As lead visionary and creative strategist, I developed the program concept, mission, vision, core pillars, formats, target audiences, and first-year goals. The blueprint identifies formats such as Concert + Conversation, Dialogue Circles, Youth & Campus Workshops, and Community Convenings, using music, storytelling, dialogue, and community engagement to help people reconnect across race, faith, culture, politics, generation, geography, and lived experience.

Impact: A scalable initiative with outcomes including increased empathy across difference, active listening, relationships across communities, practical bridge-building actions, and music and storytelling experienced as tools for healing. I selected it because it shows how a creative idea can become a structured program with a clear mission, audience, and purpose.

Lapidus & Myles: Music for People of Conscience

Lapidus & Myles is my creative music collaboration with Rabbi Micah Lapidus. The project blends gospel, Jewish music, spirituals, blues, folk, and social justice-centered storytelling.

Within the collaboration, I serve as vocalist, performer, creative collaborator, storyteller, and audience-engagement partner, bringing vocal performance, musical interpretation, stage presence, and message delivery, and helping shape the emotional and spiritual impact of each performance.

Impact: This project demonstrates how creative media can move beyond entertainment to become a tool for dialogue, connection, and community engagement. It reflects my ability to work across cultural and faith traditions, using music and storytelling to inspire, educate, heal, and connect people.
