But let’s start with the professional stuff. Courtney has worked in TV & Film for over 12 years, exploring many creative paths along the way. She is currently Director of Unscripted & Documentaries, Co-Executive Producer, and Director at Fulwell Entertainment, where she develops, sells, and produces TV shows and documentaries. Truly a dream job for any TV lover. As a director she has directed over 17 projects for the company. Because one job isn’t enough, Courtney is also running her own boutique creative company, Cooper St Entertainment, which specializes in digital and branded content creation.
Outside of Fulwell and Cooper St Entertainment, Courtney created Binge This Now, a recommendation brand helping viewers navigate the endless sea of shows. Her purpose as a storyteller is rooted in amplifying underrepresented voices and bringing their stories to light.
Beyond television, Courtney is the author of the children’s book series Come on a Journee with Me, celebrating the bond between Black fathers and daughters while weaving in themes of travel, entrepreneurship, and Black history. Her writing has also appeared in xoNecole, StyleCaster, and The Beet.
Born and raised in NYC, Courtney now lives in Los Angeles, still carrying her love of travel, adventure, and photography wherever she goes. Wellness is also an essential part of her routine. She boxes, meditates, runs half marathons and journals daily, while also encouraging her community to prioritize their health.
