I know firsthand the impact of storytelling. I learned the value of my voice and how words have power when I was a foster child in Washington, D.C. I had a story to tell about my lived experiences, and although I had to share this story in court, it opened my understanding of the importance of advocacy. Sharing my narrative gave me agency as a communicator.

Stories can lead to meaningful transformations within society. I aim to clarify and amplify messages that drive social change. 

​

My commitment to integrating social marketing and public relations can be found in my books, speaking engagements, courses as a communication studies university instructor, and businesses. I leverage over 20 years of corporate communication experience to serve as my clients' PRO - Public Relations Officer. As the Founder and President of Ivey Media Agency, LLC, and its publishing imprint, Radiance Press, I aim to make brands noteworthy!
