With God by her side, Erica has become a triple threat in the media industry and is blazing the trail for people with brain injuries and disabilities. She wrote her 1st book, “Through the Lens: A Book of Short Stories and is currently writing her 2nd book, “Dear June 1st – A Story of Trauma, Struggle & Purpose.” Erica has also produced and directed four documentaries while in the Continuity Media Training Program, in which one was selected to be in the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase. Through it all, she makes it her mission and passion to educate others about gun violence and brain injuries.
Erica believes everyone should become knowledgeable about gun violence and brain injuries, especially since brain injuries are a silent epidemic that plagues millions of people all around the world. In her spare time, she loves completing puzzles, word games, writing, reading, creating, and hosting her online platform show, TBI UNcovered, and inspiring the masses with not only her story, but other brain injury survivors’ stories as well, and looks to change the world one story at a time.
