Impact + Advisory

This work sits at the intersection of storytelling, ethics, and cultural understanding—supporting individuals and institutions navigating moments where narrative carries real consequence.

This work serves:

  • Filmmakers seeking creative advisory or executive producing support on projects where story, authorship, and responsibility are inseparable
  • Cultural, educational, and media institutions working across difference, identity, and belonging
  • Organizations and initiatives addressing conflict, displacement, or social change and seeking narrative clarity rather than amplification

Across these contexts, I collaborate selectively—prioritizing projects where trust, rigor, and long-term thinking are valued, and where story is approached as a responsibility rather than a tactic.

Speaking & Convening

Alongside advisory and creative collaboration, I engage audiences through keynote talks, moderated conversations, and workshops focused on narrative intelligence—how stories shape perception, belief, leadership, and belonging.

These engagements draw from documentary practice and lived experience, creating space for reflection, dialogue, and shared inquiry rather than instruction or prescription. Whether addressing senior leadership, creative communities, or public audiences, the goal is the same: to slow the conversation down enough for meaning to emerge.

Formats may include:

  • Keynote lectures and featured talks
  • Closed-door workshops and facilitated sessions
  • Public conversations and institutional convenings

Institutional Engagement

My advisory, speaking, and collaborative work has engaged with institutions including Harvard University, National Geographic, The New York Times, McKinsey & Company, and the U.S. Department of State.
