Theatrical marketer, PR influencer, and creative producer, Stacey gained international experience early in her career in Guyana, South America, as director of communications for the country’s largest advertising agency. She wrote and produced television and radio commercials while heading the marketing and PR efforts for the country’s largest trade show “GuyExpo”. During this time, she also served as press agent to the country’s Minister of Trade and Tourism.

On her return to the US, she threw her efforts into reaching the unmet need for diversity marketing. Mecca Communications was created as her solution. For over 15 years, she brought her in-depth understanding of target marketing to “Communities of Color,” winning several awards along the way.

In 2009, Stacey transitioned to entertainment by creating integrated strategies for film releases at Sony Pictures Entertainment. There, she pioneered the first HBCU internship program, increasing the number of diversity students working with one of the “Big 5“Hollywood studios. Her program allowed these students to get hands on experience with publicity efforts for such award-winning films as The Social Network and Moneyball as well as 21 Jump Street and Men in Black II.

Currently, Stacey is developing her passion for writing and producing. Her latest projects include working as executive producer for “Bison Chats” podcast and scriptwriting features like Concrete Summer, which is currently in preproduction.
