About Our Company

At Upcoming Storytellers, our mission is clear: we empower our community by providing essential resources, knowledge, and technology to sow the seeds of growth, prosperity, and personal fulfillment through the cultivation of leaders. We believe that it takes a collective effort to make a change.

Our focus is on providing a platform for underserved creatives, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talent.

Our aim is to equip them with the tools and knowledge they need to embark on successful careers in film production, instilling a sense of purpose and laying the foundation for wealth within themselves and their communities.

I established Upcoming Storytellers with a personal commitment to transforming the narrative within the production industry. Having faced adversity while growing my own business, I understand the many challenges that individuals of color, especially those who are dealing with low-income or at-risk circumstances, can encounter.


Our mission is to empower these young talents, planting the seeds of growth, prosperity, and fulfillment through the provision of vital resources, knowledge, and cutting-edge technology. We firmly believe that diversity is a catalyst for innovation and creativity. Our primary focus is on providing a platform for underserved creatives to showcase their talents. From honing behind-the-camera skills to mastering the art of film production, we equip these individuals with the tools they need to thrive in a highly competitive production industry.


The youth involved in Upcoming Storytellers embark on a transformative journey, gaining hands-on experience while working closely with experienced creatives and industry professionals. Our mission extends beyond the individual; it's about increasing diversity in the industry, building wealth in minority communities, instilling a sense of purpose, and amplifying untold stories from our communities.

Join us as we pioneer a path for the next generation of leaders and storytellers. Together, we are reshaping the production industry, enabling underserved creatives to thrive and prosper behind the camera.
