About me
Editorial Schemer at Penguin Random House Founder + Director of PRIM. PRIM is a platform for storytelling born out of my love for books, not just the reading but the story it aims to tell, how we can connect through them as well as the variety of ways we consume stories - audio, visual and oral. Myself and a small team have created a digital and physical space to make access to stories, by people of black ancestry, readily available all the time.
