Transform Your Brand Story Into content That
resonates, engages, and sells
Sales feeling flat? Maybe it's time to share the story only you can tell.
You have been told by marketing gurus to “be consistent,” "follow trends" and “show up more.” But when you try, the results feel out of reach. You’ve spent hours marketing your business, yet something in your messaging still isn’t clicking. You don't know what to say or do.
What if I told you the problem has nothing to do with how much you’re showing up....
And everything to do with your lack of storytelling.
Without a strong story you're getting stuck in a marketing cycle like this:
01.
You create content, but it feels surface-level, time consuming, and disconnected from your brand’s bigger vision. You're not sure how to share your story in a way that stands out.
So, you try a few IG prompts (for a week or two) maybe a new email template before falling back on what’s worked before, even though it’s starting to feel stale or out of sync. You know your brand has evolved, but your messaging hasn’t caught up.
03.
Then, you feel frustrated (and guilty) that your audience engages sometimes but doesn’t consistently convert at the level you know is possible. So, you fall back into more and the entire cycle repeats again.
02.
...the thing they don't tell you about creating content is....
Your brand story isn’t just fluff that lives on the About page of your website
Storytelling content is the key to:
- Creating emails that spark replies
- Bios that get you booked
- Social media captions that have them sliding in your DMs
- And content that builds trust and connection across every platform.
And the best part is that it's all there, in your head! No one knows your life better than you. Your untapped brand stories can help you sell with confidence and refine your messaging in a way no one can compete with. Yes, even if you feel lost in a sea of competitors right now!
That's what I want!

Your personal story can take you anywhere you want to go
I'm a proud Ghanian-American who has the blood of the Ashanti and Ewe tribe running through my veins.
I’m probably the first (and only) person you’ve ever met who says pageantry sparked a passion for social media and storytelling. After winning the title of Miss Minnesota International in 2015, I discovered the joy of serving my community and sharing my unfiltered story. I learned how online platforms could be used as a powerful tool for meaningful connection and purposeful storytelling.
And that same story took me from Miss Minnesota International took me to entrepreneurship to being invited to be the podcast host for one of the largest CRMs for small businesses to...

You know who your dream client is, but still find it hard to cut through to the noise on social media and in their inbox long enough to spark share your value. We'll get to the heart of who you are meant to serve and how to speak to them in a way that lights them up (and makes selling feel easier) through my a Target Audience Analysis that goes beyond the standard "do they like coffee or tea" questions you're used to.
Week One: Target Audience Analysis
Our most engaging stories often go untapped because we see them as ‘normal’ or ‘boring.’ But your journey, vision, and value are the heart of your brand — and they’re exactly what your audience needs to hear. In Week 2, you will dive into the Storytelling Library exercise to uncover your 3 signature stories, designed to connect and sell to an audience that resonates deeply with your message. Together, we’ll build your Brand Storytelling Library and I’ll show you how to effortlessly turn it into endless content that builds connection and community.
Week Two: Brand Storytelling Library
In week 3, we will review your current brand messaging to pinpoint what's off and how we can start to infuse your new brand stories into your content. Once you have a base idea of your messaging, I will fine-tune it and create your Brand Story Guidelines - a completely tailored roadmap to using your message across all your marketing, from social media to your newsletter, to make selling feel effortless with a reliable, repeatable messaging framework to turn those stories into sales.
Week Three: Brand Messaging Analysis and Custom Brand Story Guidelines
We do not leave any loose ends. In your final week before our Intensive, we will sit down to look over everything you have created and provide any additional suggestions to craft a stronger story brand. Then you will need to apply the edits. Because we are going to use all the groundwork you've done so far in our Storytelling Intensive to craft content to fill your marketing calendar.
Week Four: The Pre-Intensive Prep
Day 1:
- I'll teach you how to use my storytelling content framework to craft 30+ ready-to-go Instagram Reel scripts, Carousels, Captions, and TikToks
- Teach you to turn your stories into powerful email newsletters that spark engagement (and that you can make in 20 minutes or less)
- Streamline your content creation process
- Give you homework to create the visuals for your content
- We'll review your storytelling content, offering viral tweaks and get it scheduled to go!
- And work through how to leverage your story to do the work you feel called to, whether that's sell a service, a course, or even create a compelling bio that gets you noticed — and on stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m a new business owner. Is this intensive for me?
Absolutely! When you focus on storytelling early on, you’ll be able to create a stronger foundation for your business. If you are new to business, I recommend taking time to test and validate different offers with your audience to ensure you’re talking to the right people. Once you’ve done this, you'll have no doubt who your audience is and you’ll be ready to start the intensive.
I’ve been a business owner for a while. Is this for me?
Yes! It’s never a bad time to revisit your content strategy and lean more into storytelling. If you’ve lost sight of your story, or outgrown it, we can realign your story so you can get back to consistently posting online, this intensive is perfect for you.
I’m ready! How do I book my Storytelling intensive?
Click to fill out the application to give me all the details about you and your brand. I’ll send a follow-up email with details for booking, including a contract for you to sign and an invoice. Please note that a 50% down payment is due upfront. Once both of these items are completed, your intensive will be officially locked into my calendar!
How much time do I need to set aside for the intensive?
While the Storytelling Intensive requires only two to three hours of your time, I’ll have you complete a number of exercises and watch video lessons as a part of our preparation work. This allows us to make the most of our time during the intensive. I usually recommend setting aside 3 hours a week for the prep work leading up to the intensive.
What if I don't have an interesting personal story to tell?
That's the story you'll been telling yourself...but it's not true. You have a story to tell (probably more than one), and we'll work 1:1 to root out what that story is and how to weave it into every aspect of your brand so you'll be able to think like a storyteller and lean into more powerful messaging.
Why can't you write my brand story for me?
I could. But there's power in crafting your own story. I realized that by me writing clients' stories they would never go through the emotional self-discovery that comes with storytelling, and they'd never fully learn how to use their stories to craft powerful marketing content that speaks straight to their ideal client. I like my clients to feel empowered, confident, and give them the skills they need to create strong marketing.
