The Story of Me

I’m a word finesser, evocative storyteller, editing ninja and cultural communications strategist in lovely southeast Washington, DC (but have hotspot, will travel).

My work has been featured in more than 40 publications, from Essence and Ebony to The Atlantic and Rolling Stone, and I’ve partnered with dozens of clients to mastermind their storytelling. I have a big personality and I write big personality things.

The Write or Die Chick is a boutique editorial services agency that specializes in creating magnetic content for and about women and communities of color. It’s been my business baby since 2012, but I’ve been freelancing since way back (not too “way”—I’m not that old).

I work with publications. I work with nonprofits. I work with government agencies. I work with community organizations. I work with big companies and small businesses. I’ll work with you too, if you ask nicely.

In case you’re interested in my credentials, here ya go: I graduated with a BA in English from the illustrious Lincoln University in Pennsylvania—the first HBCU in the country—and I’m just about finished with my master’s in African-American Studies from Temple University. Once upon a time, I thought about getting my Ph.D. Now I’m pretty sure the streets of my personal heaven will be paved with receipts for paid-off student loans.

Lastly, and this is important: I know every episode of “The Golden Girls” almost word-for-word, I’m on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini, and I make award-winning cornbread (and by “award-winning,” I mean my family really likes it).
