Just a creative black girl in this world, full of wonderful and colorful ideas. I aspire to inspire creation.

@refinery29 prioritized the work of my white counterparts, ignored my creative input, and stole my creative ideas. I got paid $20K less than them for doing the same work, and had to appeal to my VP, only to receive half of that... I was stiffed and stifled. My experience at @refinery29 is the reason I was driven to create my series ‘Here We Go’. I pitched the idea unto deaf ears, only to see them push and promote content created by my WHITE counterparts with less flavor. Idk...maybe I was too black. #BLM
