Sankofa Communications Keynote Speaker from Hilton Head Island, SC

A cultural influencer and preservationist, I provide a significant level of expertise and credibility as a speaker. Through my work, I created a cultural umbrella that inspires and informs others about the richly significant Gullah Geechee culture and community. My extensive body of work includes producing cultural documentaries and writing over 300 articles on Gullah Geechee history, culture and traditions, establishing me as a cultural authority. In addition, as a subject matter expert, I share my work and knowledge through teaching popular cultural classes on The Origin of Gullah-Geechee Culture, The Story of Rice, From Slavery to the Lowcountry Gullah and The First Families of Hilton Head. In addition to writing articles and snippets on the culture, I write, produce, voice, and direct award winning documentaries and short form videos that highlight the cultural in a visual format. In addition to creating video shorts, I have produced several documentaries: Freedom Day | The Historic Families of Mitchelville, Juneteenth | The Birth of Freedom, Colored Troops of the Civil War | Courage. Determination. Survival., which recieved two nominations and Harriett Tubman | From the Railroad to A Spy, which has three nominations and had its broadcast debut on SC PBS in April 2023. My experience and expertise, makes me uniquely qualified to fill a void for information and knowledge about the culture.
