Yes, a full week in Vegas. This wasn’t my first time spending this much time in Sin City, but my more recent trips have been in and out situations.

I’m a content creator. But, more importantly, I’m a Black woman who is deciding to aggressively push out content that not only amplifies the voices of my peers, but also calls out the societal norms that have, for centuries, been the cause of turmoil and anguish to so many citizens of this country.

I’ve been a communications consultant for 15+ years, and honestly thought I’d have a big PR firm working with athletes and entertainers by now.

For years, I’ve helped brands, businesses and personalities craft and tell their stories. It’s second nature for me to tell others how to build their brand. But, in doing that, I neglected my own. That shall be the case no longer. Time to level up and share all the pieces of my beautifully, blessed life.

Podcasts are dope. I started mine a few months ago and truly feel honored to now be part of this impactful community. My podcast journey started 2 years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since.

It may seem like the Shades of Content podcast was this idea that effortlessly came to be and was rolled out effortlessly. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.

I wasn’t sure if this site would even have a blog feature, but I’m compelled to write this because I honestly just need to know that I’m not alone.
