The TRiiBE

Chicago Area

I am a filmmaker and publisher who recently co-founded The TRiiBE (www.thetriibe.com), a digital publication and media company that is reshaping the narrative of Black Chicago. With Chicago being painted as the poster child of so-called “black-on-black” crime in today’s political atmosphere, I created a platform for Black Chicago to take ownership of their narrative - earning me a spot on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Media list for 2019 and in Adweek’s Rising Brand Stars.
