My work is grounded in Critical Race Media Literacy, which asks not only whether media is accurate, but how it is designed, who it serves, and whose harm is rendered acceptable.

I examine media as a system shaped by ownership, institutional power, historical framing, and technological design.

I am an Assistant Professor of Journalism at Howard University, where I teach broadcast reporting, media history, and critical approaches to media analysis.

In addition to academic research, I work with educators, journalists, nonprofits, and community organizations to translate complex media systems into usable frameworks for real-world decision-making.

Media does not simply reflect society. It helps determine which lives are protected, which harms are minimized, and which stories are allowed to repeat without challenge.

At a time when truth telling in education and journalism is increasingly contested, my work focuses on equipping people with the tools to recognize narrative power and interrupt harm at the structural level.
