Reimagining courage, strength, and resistance with the number one global sports apparel manufacturer, we developed a digital, print, and community campaign targeting elite sports. World-class athletes understand that caution is a thief. The underlying theme we built on: fear steals confidence, it steals competition, and above all, it steals compassion. Don't let it take yours.

An offshoot of The World Bank engaged me to develop the GTM strategy and communications plan for a crypto neobanking service to enable members from across the global African diaspora to send digital currency and insurance abroad, saving its users over 70%, relative to traditional banks and service providers like Western Union and MoneyGram. With a unique model, the app-less, mobile-first offering is the only inclusive digital currency that can be converted to immediate SME merchant buying power for unbanked populations in economically developing regions of the world. This is a powerful capability, one that brings financial inclusion to whole segments of underdeveloped nations of rural and underbanked peoples, building communities and driving economic empowerment for the most vulnerable groups in Africa, including women, LGBTQ constituencies, and regional minorities.

GOTHAM GIRL INTERRUPTED
A #1 debut on AMAZON
Published by Imagine!/Penguin Random House
“Nora Ephron and Allie Brosh fans take note: Alisa Jones’s memoir in comedic essays GOTHAM GIRL INTERRUPTED is smart stand-up comedy about the power of falling down. From irreverent New York City blogger Alisa Kennedy Jones comes an account of her “misadventures in motherhood, love, and epilepsy” that James Patterson calls “smart, harrowing, heart-warming, and very funny.”
What do Da Vinci, Agatha Christie, and Alisa Kennedy Jones all have in common? One guess—ecstatic epilepsy. In this hilarious and moving dispatch from the frontlines of neurodiversity. Jones chronicles life with these terrifying yet beautiful grand mal seizures. Characteristic of Jones’s condition are attacks that leave her with what Zen Buddhists sometimes refer to as a “beginner’s mind”: a vast, open expanse of headspace, coupled with a creative euphoria.
With bracing candor and humility, Jones describes living with a chronic illness, single motherhood, and her day-to-day life as a hapless writer in Manhattan. Above all, Jones reminds us to fight the battle for becoming who we are supposed to be—no matter how much crashing around you have to do to get there.”
A #1 new release on Amazon, GOTHAM GIRL INTERRUPTED is available everywhere books are sold as well as on Bookshop.org, IndieBound, and Barnes & Noble.
A bespoke podcast for my daughter.
