What is “Dear Me”
"Dear Me" is a video series that follows three individuals at different stages of life as they confront their past struggles through letters written to themselves. Blending documentary-style storytelling with creative scripted elements, the series dives into their personal journeys of pain, growth, and resilience, ultimately revealing the universal truth that every challenge will pass and that we are all on the right path, even when it seems the hardest. Through these reflections, these letters offer a powerful message of hope, self-compassion, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

“Stand up”
Stand up
"The thing that we are challenged to do is to keep this movement moving. There is power in unity, and there is power in numbers… If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. But by all means, keep moving."
In celebration of #MLKDay2025, Midtown Church produced a moving tribute with the popular song ‘Stand Up’ performed by their worship team.
Honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is something I look forward to every year, and our MLK game has become one of the most meaningful moments of my season both professionally and personally. This year’s tribute was inspired by a song I first heard back in 2021. The moment it played, it stopped me in my tracks and I saved it. Knowing that one day, the right moment and the right project would come. And this was finally it.
The idea came together during a spontaneous meeting that turned into something special. It led to a beautiful collaboration with Midtown Church and their worship team, whose heart and soul added so much depth to the piece.
This year also marked a shift for me as a leader. For the first time, I stepped back from being hands-on with every piece of the process, and instead gave my incredibly talented team of content producers the space to lead as directors and cinematographers. I took on a producer and editor role, and got to watch them shine. It was fun to watch them exceed all expectations.
I’m beyond grateful to work for an organization that not only supports but fully embraces bold, purposeful storytelling. To help bring a project like this to life, surrounded by people who care as deeply as I do, and in honor of someone as impactful as Dr. King — it means the world.
