Work Background
Greater Purpose MediaChief Inspiration Officer
Nov. 2019Denver, Colorado, United StatesGreater Purpose Media (GPM) excels in the art of visual storytelling by continuing to advance our skills while honing tried and true film making methods. We are where stories that matter come to be told, and we tell them through macro lenses, vibrant colors, continuity editing, high quality sound, drone shots, graphics and so much more. Most importantly, as a Black and Brown, woman-owned company we are ardent supporters of capturing thought-provoking, fact-checked content that advances equity. Guided by the principles of activism and advocacy espoused by James Baldwin, we believe "love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
