Most people who know me today know me through community work, housing, events, or dance. What many don't know is that my professional journey began more than two decades ago in fashion, publishing, and experiential marketing.

​

I started in the men's division at Earnest Management before joining The Green Magazine as an assistant. What began as an entry-level opportunity quickly became an education in publishing, marketing, sponsorships, and event production. Over time, I evolved into the role of Fashion Coordinator while supporting marketing and sales initiatives for both The Green and Uptown Magazine.

​

Through editorial productions, lifestyle publications, sponsorship development, and national events, I was introduced to an audience that valued culture, relationships, and experiences as much as the products themselves.

​

As The Green Magazine expanded its presence in the golf and lifestyle space, I became increasingly involved in event production. One of the most significant opportunities came through the 39th Annual NAACP Celebrity Golf Challenge, where our team was contracted to execute the event from concept to completion. The experience provided a firsthand look at the planning, partnerships, hospitality, and coordination required to bring large-scale experiences to life.

​

After The Green, I returned to the men's division at Fusion Models NYC, again working under Earnest Williams. As the industry began its transition from print to digital, I continued building on the experiences and relationships that had shaped the early years of my career.

​

In 2008, I joined Dionisio Vasco, a custom menswear company, where I led marketing initiatives, coordinated photoshoots, supported fashion presentations, and helped execute events including Audi Fashion Week. Over the next five years, I continued developing a deeper appreciation for the relationship between storytelling, presentation, and experience.

​

Those experiences eventually led to opportunities supporting executive-level events through Odyssey Network, where I worked across hospitality, VIP experiences, sponsorship activations, green rooms, and event operations.

​

Looking back, every chapter of my career revolved around the same idea: creating spaces where people feel welcomed, connected, and engaged. The industries changed, but the audience remained remarkably similar—people seeking meaningful conversation, authentic connections, and thoughtfully curated experiences.

​

M-E-N (Moments. Experiences. Nexus.) is the culmination of that journey.

​

A platform inspired by two decades of fashion, publishing, hospitality, marketing, and event production—and built on the belief that the right room, the right conversation, and the right people can create something memorable.

​

This is not a departure from the work I've spent the last twenty years doing.

​

It's the continuation of it.
