Beyond Magazine TEGAA Feature
TEGAA artisan, Nay Secka’s jewelry and apparel are featured in the holiday edition.
Using Ms. Secka’s unique story of Gambia-made wear, I scripted a comprehensive, yet intriguing story. Weaving in fast-paced on-location interviews, my voiceover narration, and the titillating fashion-forward footage I shot.
Yes, this one-woman crew designed the video, wrote the article, and social ad copy below. Plus more, each developed on a tight schedule.
Truly, this is one of my favorite brand features. From the quality of scripting to the warm, friendly pacing of voice and timing of shots I never listen back and think about changing it.
A Lesson Learned
Except for the fountain noise in the background of my interviews. In post-production, I was able to reduce unwanted sound and enhance vocals to levels above the background noise and music bed. This was an unusual circumstance, I’ve acquired new equipment to better attend to ambient noise on location.

How to make Date Night magic by Nechel Sheree Best

How to make Date Night magic
by Nechel Sheree Best
Longtime San Diego event planner, Belita Butler founder of eventsaboveandbeyond.com decided to throw caution to the wind, going beyond fears and doubts to seize her dream of publishing a magazine.
Advising her with all aspects of concept and design, I also provided content development and brand promotional design. Delivering distinctive tips for the “Date Night” in a voice and style Belita’s audience appreciated. I ghostwrote this article for the Winter second edition of Beyond Magazine.
I really enjoy the allure of beauty and fashion editorial.
A seasonal publication, the article was featured in Beyond Magazine’s Valentine’s day release in 2019.
