The significant disparity in breast cancer outcomes between white women and Black women — largely caused by discrimination and racial bias — has persisted over the years and calls for urgent attention to get medical providers to confront this reality and effect change.

In our second year working with The Chrysalis Initiative, we decided to turn the focus on hospitals in an effort to raise doctors', nurses, and hospital staff's awareness of this disparity and expose any blind spots and procedural issues that could be unknowingly perpetuating the problem.

In the US, Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than White women, even when income and access to care are the same. In a systemically racist healthcare system, Black women are often dismissed and ignored and are treated with prejudices that keep them from receiving an equitable standard of care.

We’ve partnered with The Chrysalis Initiative to launch Erase the Line, a multiplatform campaign that provides Black women (and other disparate groups) with the tools to identify the caliber of cancer support they SHOULD be getting, rate/review the cancer care they're receiving, and help them find leading hospitals committed to providing equal care to Black women.

It won’t have escaped your attention that politics in the U.S. consists mainly of men voting with their man brains on behalf of women. Nor will it have escaped your attention that the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a decision that represents a monumental setback to women’s reproductive rights.

But when it comes to women’s bodies, men are anything but experts.

To expose this, I cofounded Roe v. Bros, a game show with a call to action for women to vote on November 8th and reclaim their reproductive rights.

Launching one week before election day, we posted daily videos on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter, amassing a huge following with over 50M views combined. The game show attracted global attention and, hopefully, helped give women back the rights to their own bodies.

On World Psoriasis Day, we released The Last Plaque, an animated short film that takes viewers into a utopian future where plaque psoriasis no longer exists. With a glimpse into what a world without psoriasis looks like, we can start to fully understand the emotional toll of the disease, empathize with sufferers, and grasp the importance of finding a cure.

Politicians follow in the wake of every mass shooting with a barrage of tweets and prayers. Yet, time after time, they actively prevent sensible gun laws from being passed.

So, we launched Laws Not Tweets, an online tool that highlights congressional hypocrisy while making it easy for people to contact their elected representatives and even set a reminder to vote them out on election day.

Lyme disease is a chronic condition caused by bacteria transmitted by ticks. Its long-term effects can be widespread and debilitating.

Ticks are quickly moving from the woods to our neighborhoods, and Black and Brown urban communities are most at risk because the tell-tale sign of a tick bite—the red rash—is more challenging to spot on dark skin. So that population often ends up misdiagnosed and with untreated, severe Lyme disease.

Making matters worse, almost no documentation exists currently in textbooks or online to help doctors and patients recognize rashes on darker skin tones. This left us asking: how do we raise awareness among city-dwellers and improve Lyme diagnosis rates in people of color?

We knew we needed to defuse this ticking Lyme bomb. So we partnered with the nonprofit Global Lyme Alliance to create The Lyme Bomb Detector— the first smartphone tool enabling earlier detection of Lyme rashes on Black and Brown skin and more accurate identification of the disease overall.

Fighting Duchenne starts with unleashing your inner beast.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an incurable and fatal genetic disorder that affects one in 5,000 newborns—primarily boys—and gradually weakens the body’s muscles. Children with Duchenne, like Conner Curran, are robbed of their ability to walk, breathe, and even smile.

Like many rare diseases, government funding is low, so Conner’s parents started a charity, Kindness Over Muscular Dystrophy, to help raise awareness of the disease and funds for research.

This is the story of how we helped one organization go “beast mode” on muscular dystrophy.

A curated selection of award-winning pharma projects I’ve had the opportunity to participate in.

The RAM 1500 Outdoorsman is a special edition truck designed with unique features to support any hunting activity — big game, small game, waterfowl, or fishing — and it needed a unique product demo to reflect that.

Enter Built for the Hunt, an immersive digital experience that showcases the skills, tools, and values of the modern hunter — the same qualities that RAM embodies in the Outdoorsman.

Users can compare hunter and truck from three perspectives: deer, fishing, and waterfowl hunting. The site also aggregated a social contest, a charitable effort, and content from applicable brand partners such as Mossy Oak, Drury Outdoors, and Under Armour.

It's often said that everyone on the planet is connected by just a few connections—all we need is a little work to uncover them. And if you have Vivo Telecom’s phone plan, a few calls can put you in direct contact with Brazilian celebrity Grazi Massafera.

This was the campaign's premise, which went viral in a matter of days. Tasked with maintaining momentum online, we created a contest in which participants had to come up with phrases for the campaign’s main character to say to Grazi. The best answers could recreate the ending of the spot and receive a personalized response from Grazi.

In less than a week after launch, we received more than 40,000 unique messages, making the #HelloGrazi contest a Vivo's record holder for number of responses.

Five lucky winners saw their responses turned into a spot with Grazi Massafera. The 5-piece film series with alt endings initially debuted on social media but ended up being so successful that the client decided to air it on national television.
