I immortalize Black stories whenever I create. Currently utilizing my passion for storytelling through all content that I create across social + digital media or through my writing. I have 5+ years in hosting and conducting interviews whether they are virtual, in-person, or during red carpet events. I also bring 10+ years of experience as a compelling storyteller whether it is written, in video format, or beyond.
"As Told By Sly" takes its name from a Nickelodeon-era touchstone — As Told By Ginger — and repurposes that nostalgia into a grown, credentialed voice covering Black culture, music, and media.
The brand is built at the intersection of journalism and creator media: a working entertainment journalist and TV host (aspireTV's Black Culture in Motion) who also builds independent editorial and social content under her own name. The nostalgia framing isn't decorative — it's the lens: culture explained the way a trusted friend would narrate it back to you.
Culturally engaged Black millennials and Gen Z who grew up on 2000s Nickelodeon, now follow Black entertainment, music, and business news, and want takes that feel like community rather than commentary from a distance.
To document and celebrate Black culture in motion — the music, the moments, the people building it — with the credibility of a trained journalist and the warmth of someone who grew up inside the culture, not reporting on it from outside.
Not a fan account, not a trade outlet. A single trusted byline — credentialed (TCA member, NPR/Broccoli City honoree, Cynopsis Rising Star) — bringing outlet-quality reporting into a personal, nostalgic brand voice.
