Dakotah holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Columbia University, where she developed a deep understanding of narrative, language, audience, and communication. Her writing background influences every aspect of her creative leadership—shaping the way she approaches storytelling, design, and brand strategy.

Before earning her MFA, she studied English and began exploring how language, visual identity, and storytelling intersect to build trust and inspire action.

She gained extensive experience with Northern Real Estate Urban Ventures, where she supported marketing and media strategy, developed brand materials, and helped refine the company’s visual and narrative identity. Her work there strengthened her understanding of how cohesive storytelling and design can enhance both business outcomes and community engagement.

Dakotah also contributed to a range of editorial and digital media organizations, including BUST Magazine, PopSugar, RaceBaitr, and the Black Youth Project. In these roles, she developed and managed social campaigns, wrote and edited content, and built storytelling strategies that centered voice, clarity, and cultural impact.

Additionally, as Online Community Manager for Supermajority, Dakotah helped oversee story curation and audience engagement across a large national network, deepening her expertise in brand voice, communication systems, and online community growth.

These combined experiences shaped Dakotah’s creative philosophy and continue to inform her approach at DakJen Creative—where strategy, storytelling, and design come together to help clients communicate with purpose and precision.
