MY MISSION
At 2050 Marketing, we empower clients, from Fortune 500 brands to dynamic start-ups, to execute cutting-edge brand building, digital, and social media strategies. I am committed to staying at the forefront of cultural trends, bridging the gap between the corporate world and the entrepreneurial spirit. By doing so, I am helping shape the future of marketing and driving meaningful impact for our clients.
As a proud product of America, I have witnessed progress, yet I recognize that communities of color continue to face discrimination and trauma.
My upbringing, under the guidance of a single parent, a strong black woman, instilled in me a deep desire to make a difference and a belief that leading by example is the most impactful means of promoting social change and diversity.
This drive has led me to achieve numerous milestones in my professional life. From earning my degree at the Annenberg School at The University of Southern California, to holding senior executive positions at top companies like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Coors Brewing, and General Motors Corp, to serving as an on-air contributor at CNBC, and establishing my own consulting practice, 2050 Marketing.
I am especially honored to share my passion for excellence and education as a full-time ‘Professional-In-Residence’ at the Kent State University School of Media and Journalism, my alma mater. By guiding the next generation of communications professionals, I am realizing my goal of inspiring positive change and promoting diversity.
Throughout my journey, I have been dedicated to creating inclusive and diverse teams that foster transparent, personal, and professional relationships built on trust. I am a steadfast advocate for diversity and inclusion, racial equality, economic opportunity, and upward mobility for our future leaders. This generation desires brands and services that align with their values, and by delivering on this, brands will be rewarded with a powerful social media presence and a reputation that drives significant value.
