As a history scholar and New Haven local, he has spent the last 3+ years working with local schools, churches, historical societies and more to uplift the essential stories that make up the state of CT. More recently, he has been involved in the Yale and Slavery Research Project, greatly contributed to the immersive New Haven Museum exhibition, Shining a Light on Truth, and directed and cowrote the documentary What Could Have Been.
