Building a Thriving Creative Economy, Together
I believe meaningful change happens when communities, creatives, and organizations unite around a shared vision. As a poetic professional, I bring strategic precision and creative storytelling to every collaboration, helping transform ideas into lasting impact.
Whether you’re a nonprofit, foundation, cultural institution, or creative professional, there are multiple ways we can work together today while moving toward a more equitable, resilient creative economy for tomorrow.
I help organizations and nonprofits strengthen programs, grow funding, and expand their reach through:
-
Strategic planning and program development
-
Grantwriting and fundraising support
-
Capacity building for governance, finance, and growth
-
Co-creating events that engage communities and amplify impact
For creative entrepreneurs, I provide guidance and connections to scale your work while driving social impact:
-
Explore how your artistic practice can intersect with community-focused projects
-
Access networks of funders, mentors, and collaborators
-
Develop storytelling strategies that bring your vision and audience closer together
Every partnership I take on today lays the foundation for a collaborative social enterprise that unites LGBTQIA+ artists, makers, and professionals to build a thriving creative economy. Together, we can:

Create funding pipelines that prioritize underrepresented voices
