I had no idea what I was doing when I started telling Alabama’s ghost stories on TikTok. I just knew I was on to something. Now I’m able to tell Alabama history, a lot of it being Black, and none of my followers crucify me. Instead, they’re just taking it in. That blows my mind.

Dalen Spratt followed your boy on IG. I think we all know it’s only a matter of time before we do something paranormal. Full circle because it was seeing the Ghost Brothers on tv that made me believe I could do this too. They have no idea how much they inspired what I do today.

Diversity doesn’t take your seat away from the table. It just makes your table bigger, it expands on old ideas and it brings life and new ideas. To resist diversity is to resist necessary change and improvement.

I hope it’s never lost on us that as people in the paranormal, we get to go places and add to and uncover history and stories that shape our history. That’s a privilege that we should remember every time we’re traipsing around trying to make sense of things we don’t understand.

Being an intentional source of light is among the highest purposes we can pursue. It means being an alchemist of the energy in the people around and turning it into something better that can also be given, creating a cycle of good that lifts everything it comes in contact with.

The paranormal continues to change my life daily. 10 years ago, I never believe I’d meet my heroes, travel across the country, make some of my best friends, and become a storyteller myself by just putting myself out there to tell a ghost story. I love this and I’m so grateful.

When Josh Gates retires (hopefully no time soon), I want to play a part in keeping the expeditions going. If there’s anything that IS my dream, it’s traveling the world and searching for treasures, pieces of history, uncovering urban legends and chasing the paranormal worldwide.

On a serious note, the potential TikTok ban is concerning to me. I think it can set a tone for how much power can be wielded at the highest levels of government for every day things. That actually terrifies me considering how low the bar is for people in authority to be decent.
