BRAND PARTNERSHIPS
I use my platform with purpose to amplify and uplift brands with integrity while educating community. Collaborating through partnerships with brands and organizations via speaking engagements, content creation, strategy, social media campaigns, equity accountability consulting and special projects.
Recent partnerships include Lululemon, Hello Again, Pro-Mix, Afropunk, TEDx, Soho House, oHHo, Foria, KiT Undergarments, Space BTWN, “All in: The Fight for American Democracy” documentary, Rentrayage, Scout Lab, Seedsman and more.
“I believe we must include the historically excluded global majority because that bolsters the overall health of the collective. I use my platform with purpose to push for diversity and equality. Biodiversity is health and equity is essential for survival. Through cannabis we can acknowledge oppressive social constructs that maintain imbalance and take action to push the culture toward regenerative futures.”
