Jodie has breathed life into philanthropic visions for globally recognized entertainers, athletes, and brands. Also attracting partnerships with titans like Cartier, NBA, American Airlines, Mercedes Benz, Coca-Cola, Live Nation, and Puma to name a few. Her unique blueprint in crafting humanitarian objectives led her to pioneer The Common Ground Foundation alongside actor, artist, and activist Common. This journey earned an Emmy Award nomination for writing and directing “A Minute” in partnership with MTV. As the inaugural Executive Director of the Recording Academy GRAMMY U, she didn't just build a community; she created unprecedented access for college students pursuing a career in the music industry.

A trusted voice in mental health advocacy, she's been the chorus behind transformative narratives and societal perceptions, fostering dialogues that touch, heal, and impact millions.
