PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

I contributed to developing the following impactful programs:

Bridges to the Blues - Bridges to the Blues is a multigenerational (must be at least 12 years old) program that pairs Chicago Musicians from multiple genres and diverse backgrounds to reimagine the blues. Participants in the program are invited to collaborate on new original music in order to audition for an opportunity to showcase at the historic Chicago Blues Festival in Millennium Park.

PROject US Style Bias Fashion Show - PROject US is an initiative for young adults between the ages of 13 – 23 designed to build fashion design, music production, and new media journalism skills. Adding value to the skills learned by curating artifacts created & knowledge gained in a comprehensive portfolio. Making that portfolio actionable with industry-centered special opportunities.The program was created by nonprofit organizations Art of Culture Inc. (formerly Donda’s House), Commonwealth Foundation and civic organization - Chicago Public Library’s YOUMedia. Each year the program culminated in a Fashion Show during Chicago Fashion Week.
