CULTURAL PROTECTOR
As a cultural preservationist, I specialize in consulting with museums and heritage institutions to cultivate culturally affirming spaces that celebrate and honor the legacies of African American communities.
My work bridges the past and the present, ensuring that historically significant documents—including first-edition, signed copies of works by prolific African-American writers from the 1800s—are preserved, celebrated, and accessible.
Through strategic advising, collection curation, and community engagement, I help institutions not only protect these invaluable treasures but also amplify the voices and contributions that have shaped our collective story. Whether it’s reimagining exhibitions or safeguarding archives, my mission is to champion heritage, empower communities, and inspire future generations to embrace their cultural inheritance with pride and resilience.
This Work Is For:
- Museums and cultural centers seeking guidance on Black archival work or inclusive collection building
- Artists and collectives preparing their portfolios for museum acquisition or exhibition
- Community organizers and historians working to preserve grassroots stories
- Families looking to archive ancestral artifacts and oral history
- Publishers or libraries curating culturally relevant materials
- Educators and researchers centering African diasporic contributions in curriculum or exhibitions
