Samantha is an activist and writer who currently works as a Campaign Manager at Color Of Change. Her previous role within Color Of Change's Hollywood team -- built to combat harmful representations of Black people in narrative television and film -- required extensive social media efforts, which led her to the world of pop culture organizing. She pioneered Color Of Change's #QueenSugar weekly Twitter chats and headed Color Of Change's participation in #IfIWasTheMayor. Through these projects, Samantha has become invested in the power of pop culture organizing, and uses the lessons she learned to fuel her as she continues working to help make the world a better place for Black people. Samantha grew up in Buffalo, NY, and currently lives in Los Angeles. She graduated from University of Pennsylvania, where she was able to pursue her passion for pop culture and entertainment through her BA in Visual Communication.
