More about me
Gabrielle is a former Democratic political staffer turned audio and editorial producer. While journeying from Capitol Hill to City Hall, she learned the fundamentals of storytelling and its power to transform how we talk about people, place, identity, culture, and politics. She decided to move beyond regression analysis and policy memos, to better understand the often messy, vibrant, and nuanced human narratives that make people, people — and ultimately impact how they navigate the world around them. Turns out, audio storytelling is the perfect platform to do just that.

From daily news to narrative, she has worked with individuals and organizations to tell the stories that matter to their audiences. Through this medium, Gabrielle champions the stories of black women+ and girls and is the lead producer for award-winning authors and renowned cultural critics Roxane Gay and Tressie McMillan Cottom's hit new podcast, Hear To Slay, exclusively on Luminary Media.

This fall, Gabrielle will publicly debut her new boutique production house, The Woodshaw, a hub for creators of color to tell multimedia stories for us, by us. Stay tuned.
