Halle Berry & The Old Gays / Executive Creative Director
Pride is an iconic celebration of self-expression. Pride originates within, with one's unique self and story. Sharing our true selves invites others to join us in moving forward, together. Sharing our stories invites others to do the same, creating the path to progress. Pride may be a celebration, but Serving Pride is a way of life. We teamed up with our friends at wayOUT foundation, a non-profit that empowers LGBTQ+ folks to feel safe being their most authentic selves. Proceeds from all sales from this product went to support the wayOUT foundation. I worked on conceptualizing, writing, and executing (pre and post-production) this campaign. This included organizing and leading our internal team, hiring core talent, and directing external production partners.
