"The South Got Something to Say"
Blogger & Podcaster
The blog is all about her experiences and unique perspective on various topics. With life's stressors continually invading her thoughts, this blog provides an outlet to sort through the chaos and build a deeper human connection. The name "Code-switching Creative" speaks to how she moves as a professional—adorning a veil of double-consciousness as a black woman working in a predominantly white space.
Since Y’all Don’t Read—an extension of the blog—is my bi-monthly podcast featuring interviews with black women of various age groups making waves in their professional industries or personal lives. In full transparency, this showcase of talents is also to help me grow towards a career in the media industry.
