I share tips & stories about job hunting, leadership, and marketing yourself | Demand Gen @ Aion | Creator of This Could've Been an Email

According to my mom, I started writing stories at age 3. Picked up a pencil and never put it down, which explains the book, the business, and my obsession with Google Docs.

Today, I’m the founder of Verbatim, a boutique agency helping brands grow through high-impact influencer marketing, fractional operations, and speaker scouting. We’re also ranked the #1 influencer agency in Phoenix by Influencer Marketing Hub — which is exciting and now lives proudly in my email signature.

I help brands stop blending in, and I help creative professionals &amp; entrepreneurs build careers that align with the life they actually want.

The tl;dr:
↳ Bestselling author of The Unapologetic Professional
↳ Keynote speaker, advisor, and marketer
↳ Helping people rethink work without burning it all down
↳ Host of Stop the Scroll, co-creator of Let Her Cook 🌮👀 

As seen in/at: HubSpot, Harvard, Fast Company, Stanford, CNBC, American Marketing Association, and more.

Outside of work: Big fan of tattoos, cookie-scented candles, and the Oxford comma.

People love to say “don't bring politics into work!” As if I could leave my Black womanhood in the parking lot and pick it up after 5 PM. 

I didn't choose to bring politics into my work. Politics showed up in my rates, my resume, my dress code, and my safety. For many of us, our entire careers have been political. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Not by choice, but by design. 

As someone who’s spent years code-switching, trying to blend in, and making myself more palatable, I don’t always get to separate the personal from the professional. Many of us don't get to be “just” entrepreneurs or “just” leaders. We're constantly navigating systems that demand we prove we belong. 

So when someone says “Keep politics out of it,” all I hear is: “Stop making me uncomfortable by reminding me that the system isn’t neutral.”

My work is political because my existence is political. And pretending otherwise isn't professionalism. It's erasure.

Everything corporate tried to "fix" about me is now how I make money.

I spent years trying to change the things my managers flagged in performance reviews. I was too quiet. Then I was too direct. I couldn't pick a lane. I didn't speak up enough about my goals. Or I was (gasp!) too bold. 🫠

Honestly, some of the feedback was helpful. I did need to get better at articulating my impact and advocating for myself. But some of it had nothing to do with me. My personality just didn't match the template, or my working style made someone uncomfortable.

The hardest skill I've had to learn is how to tell the difference between "I need to grow" and "I need to go." Those are two very different problems. And confusing them can cost you years and a lot of joy.

But now:

• Too direct → "refreshingly honest"
• Couldn't pick a lane → multipassionate, with multiple income streams
• Too quiet → I listen, observe, and hear what people aren't saying

These weren't flaws. I just hadn't found the right environment yet.
