But let’s start with the professional stuff. Courtney has worked in TV & Film for over 10 years. She has taken many different paths, as any creative is bound to do. Currently, she’s working as a Creative Executive/Co-Executive Producer & Director at The Springhill Company. She spends her time creating, developing, selling, and producing TV shows and documentaries…so basically any pop culture lover’s dream. Not to mention, she has directed over 17 projects for the Springhill brand. On top of actually creating the media, Courtney also runs a TV recommendation brand called Binge This Now, to help viewers choose what they want to watch in an ever-expanding sea of shows. Her passion and purpose in life are to not only tell stories of the underrepresented but also serve as an amplifier for them.
Because two simultaneous careers weren’t enough, Courtney developed and wrote a children’s book series titled, “Come on a Journee with Me.” The story focuses on the dynamic between Black fathers and their daughters, traveling, entrepreneurship, and the importance of educating ourselves on Black culture and history. Beyond writing a children’s book, Courtney has also written for various websites and magazines. Her work can be found in publications such as xoNecole, StyleCaster, and TheBeet.
Despite her many creative projects, Courtney somehow has time for her personal life and loves spending it with her family and friends. She was born and raised in NYC but spent her summers growing up in North Carolina. Now she’s soaking up the sunshine in LA, so her favorite people live all over the country. Lucky for them, traveling and experiencing new things bring Courtney so much joy. But then again, who doesn’t love a great adventure? Courtney loves photography, film photography, and videography, so she is known as the friend who documents everything. Because she leads such a busy life, wellness is a mandatory part of her routine. Courtney has dedicated herself to protecting her mental and physical health, and boxes, meditates, and journals daily. Along her journey, she has committed to not only protecting her own health but also encouraging her community to do the same.
