IN HER WORDS

I am an Atlanta native, who stepped onto my first music video set at 19 and became a part of Atlanta's music industry which was booming in the early 90's. This new creative arena proved to be a consistently stressful world, and I literally burned out in the mid 90's and decided to go into marketing while staying in the music business. I held posts at several labels and even Atlanta's Hot 107.9 as marketing manager. But the film industry was forever my first love and I returned to it in 2004. I climbed the ranks and eventually became both a director and producer. But what I realize now, is that I lacked the tools and the mindset to actualize my full potential. I was stuck in a world producing and directing projects that did not make me proud.  When I decided to "Remix" and follow a few universal principles, my entire life changed. I became the happy, healthy person who picks and chooses projects, motivates in the diversity and inclusion arena, and has become a socially conscious leader in the community. Now I'm here to tell you, if I can change the entire trajectory of my life, so can you!
