Company/Employer:  RIZZARR, Inc.

Title:  Founder and CEO 

Career: I am the leading Millennial and Gen Z content marketing strategist, spokesperson, consultant, and global speaker for brands that want to reach younger generations — helping brands to create the right content, craft the right messages, and produce transformational experiences. I am excited to use my love of content creation to empower and inspire Millennials and Gen Zers.

I am the founder and CEO of RIZZARR, a tech-enabled content marketplace in which brands can find and work with Millennial and Gen Z content creators from around the world.

In addition to overseeing RIZZARR, I moderate or speak at gatherings around the world for entities such as the U.S. Department of State, for which I travel to speak at U.S. Embassies and consulates. I also host a video and podcast series called, The Ripple Effect of You.

Before becoming an entrepreneur, I was an award-winning journalist working for NBC News, WBAL Radio, and USA TODAY. 

Education:  The University of Southern California, earning a B.A. in broadcast and digital journalism as well as minors in international relations and Spanish. Fun fact: I was a collegiate debater and received a scholarship and placement on the USC Trojan Debate Squad.

AWC focus: I learned about the organization from Jody Gaber (Director of the Media Communication Program at Lawrence Technological University), who kindly invited me to be a panelist/speaker for one of AWC Detroit’s events in 2021. I loved the camaraderie and the empowerment that was focused on during the event. I felt so inspired and uplifted upon leaving the event!

I hope to connect with the organization’s admirable women in the local community and to also be a beacon of light in the organization, offering my gifts and talents if they can be of help to someone. I love volunteering and love networking! I may get involved in a committee in the near future!

Personal:  I live in Southfield.  My interests include traveling, reading, writing, creating content, and spending time with family.  

Passions/volunteer service:  In my spare time, I am a board member for various mission-driven entities that connect with topics important to me. Some of these entities include the National Association for Media Literacy Education, the Global Shapers Community, and First Independence Bank.  I am extremely passionate about helping young people discover their purpose and fulfill their God-given dreams. I am also passionate about helping young people overcome mental health issues, like eating disorders and  depression. I am interested in helping solve many of the world’s problems like poverty, human trafficking, sustainability, and more. My soul aspires to be a beacon of light, love, and hope while on this Earth!
