Hello!
I am a listener, longform narrative and documentary producer, editor, scriptwriter, and sound designer for radio, podcasts, films, and immersive exhibitions.
I’m drawn to stories that foster understanding, curiosity, imagination, belonging (without othering), and restorative justice towards individuals and communities who are seen as "the other", as misfits, or who are marginalized.
The most meaningful work I do is often never published. For over a decade and on a weekly basis, I have documented the lives of several incarcerated BIPOC men in the United States, who wrongfully sentenced to life in prison without parole as youth, spent more than half their lives behind bars. My reporting and advocacy has supported their release and exoneration.
Who I am today are the stories of the people I have had the opportunity to listen to and love.
If you’d like to connect or collaborate on a project, I look forward to hearing from you.
Elyse
