CANNES

U.S. YOUNG
LIONS FINALIST


The ad industry knows how to sell anything. Except itself. Before there was a pipeline problem, there was an awareness problem. So we advertised advertising.


AWARD: U.S. Cannes Young Lion (Print – Silver)


The advertising industry has a diversity problem. It begins with how hard it is for historically excluded groups to even learn about its careers. It was pure luck and fate that I even discovered advertising. I was a college student who loved writing and Berlin (two of those three things are still true) when I had a chance conversation with a stranger in a park who mentioned Miami Ad School. I noticed that they had a location in Berlin and well, here we are today.



Made with the daily gratitude that I even get to work in this industry.
