    paper Erie's Black Wall Street (website / app / social media)

    As the Digital Media Specialist for Erie’s Black Wall Street, I led the creation and ongoing management of the organization’s digital ecosystem — including its Squarespace website and companion mobile app hosted through AppyPie. The goal was to build a centralized platform that showcases community initiatives, donation drives, business directories, and educational programs supporting Black entrepreneurship in Erie, Pennsylvania.

    I designed the site architecture, content layout, and user flow to ensure accessibility, clarity, and visual cohesion across web and mobile. On Squarespace, I implemented responsive templates, donation integrations, and analytics tracking to monitor engagement. On AppyPie, I managed the app’s navigation, push notifications, and event update features to keep community members connected in real time. Together, these platforms serve as a digital cornerstone for EBWS’s mission — merging storytelling, functionality, and community impact into one unified brand experience.

    In tandem, I directed social media strategy and content production across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube — producing cinematic short-form videos, event recaps, and community storytelling campaigns. These efforts drove substantial audience growth, boosted donations during key events like Erie Gives Day, and positioned EBWS as a leading voice in regional Black economic empowerment.
