Bring my change back.

Bring My Change Back podcast cover

A space where conversations unfold with ease.

Each episode, Lakeia sits with artists, visionaries, and changemakers for delightfully unpredictable conversations about the moments that shape us—the surprises, the detours, the lessons—and what we do with all that change.

No performance. No pretense. Just stories, a couple laughs, and the occasional reference to the ‘90s.

At the heart of all her work is a love for storytelling. Whether crunching data, playing with verbs and nouns, or interviewing prominent figures, she transforms information into stories that connect us.

Most recently she was a Senior Producer at ABC News where she produced narrative podcasts and led insights for the audio team. She also produced special segments for Good Morning America, Soul of a Nation, and Nightline.

She has worked in research and strategic insights for networks like Comedy Central and BET, while writing for media outlets including O, The Oprah Magazine, ESSENCE, Complex, and The Recording Academy.

A native New Yorker, Lakeia is a proud Morgan State alum who, if left to her own devices, would eat pizza and burn incense all day.
