I am open to working with online and/or print publications, tourism boards, brands, businesses, and fellow creatives to create content together. Here are three areas where you and I can possibly work together. However, this is not an exhaustive list - feel free to send me a message to learn more.
Work With Me
What I Offer
Travel Planning
It's time to put that passport to good use, or take that road trip you've been putting off. You may not know where to start, but I do. With over 5 years of international traveling and a life of domestic traveling, I can plan your trip on a budget.
Fellowship/Internship Advising
Have you found a dream opportunity that would kickstart or enhance your career? Do you need help figuring our how to write the perfect application or nail an interview? After receiving a prestigious Fulbright Fellowship, I can advise you to tackle yours. Let's work together to make that dream a reality.
Content Strategy
From creating engaging IG stories, photos, and videos, to writing informative and relatable articles for your publication, my versatility can gain you visibility. We can create something impactful. I'm the content strategist you should work with for all your storytelling needs.
"We have loved partnering with Sojourner over the past few months. As a travel social media startup, we wanted to work with Sojourner because of her creative content and vast travel network. We partnered with Sojourner because she consistently brings creativity and proactiveness to every project. She is an excellent storyteller and communicator. Sojourner is in-tune with her followers and travel community; Thus, she has given us insight and suggestions to Trvlpage itself. All of us at Trvlpage are big fans of Sojourner’s content, and we all look forward to projects with her!"
"Sojourner was a wonderful contributing panelist for VISIT Milwaukee’s program, “Curating Inclusive Milwaukee Tourism Experiences” in June, 2020. She brought interesting, well-traveled, and deeply considered perspectives to our tourism business audience about evolving Black tourism experiences around the world and in her hometown of Milwaukee. Sojourner brings deliberateness to her work along with her contagious youthful spirit. I am big fan of Sojourneries and Sojourner herself and am actively looking for the next way I will have the pleasure to work her."
