About

I am deeply driven by God, purpose, creativity, strategy, community, culture and change.

My story

Hi, I'm Kenyatta Sacha Dunkin – and from an early age living on the Southside of Chicago, I held a deep belief that stories had the power to shape lives and change the world.

I was imaginative & strategic — the girl who turned perfume bottles into students, staged Destiny's Child performances in the living room, and created full magazines from notebook pages and cutouts. My world was never small — I dreamed big and envisioned boldly.

I was also drawn to purpose — always asking not just what, but why. I saw stories not just as entertainment, but as tools for healing, connection, and truth-telling.

Those traits were nurtured in the environments that raised me:

  • A Montessori school that taught me to question freely, be kind, and create with joy
  • A church community where love wasn't just spoken — it was lived, deeply and daily
  • A household where I witnessed people from all walks of life longing to be seen, heard, and valued through the lens of politics, law and a love for Black people
  • And two vibrant, rooted cultures — Jamaican and African American — where storytelling, resilience, and communal care were sacred and central

Even then, I felt called to media — to contribute to a more honest, equitable and whole world.

Storytelling has always been my language. Strategy became the bridge. And purpose remains the north star.

Continuing the journey

Now, as a connector, builder, and lover of people – the journey continues. I'm a former Wharton MBA and content strategist who has been blessed with nearly a decade of experience at the intersection of media, culture, business and impact.

I've led strategy, equity, partnerships, communications, and finance across industry leaders like Netflix, Forbes, and Tribune Media, and today I run my own consulting firm dedicated to helping purpose-driven media companies and ventures connect more deeply with audiences and maximize their value.

I have a deep belief that ideas move people, stories shape culture, and what we build can leave the world different than we found it.

My goal is to tell meaningful stories, build systems boldly, launch needle-moving ideas, improve society and do it with purpose to the glory of God.

What drives me

God The reason for the work and the one who gets the glory.
Purpose Helping people find the thing they were made to do.
Creativity Making is how I think. Ideas earn their keep by getting built.
Strategy Vision without a plan stays a feeling. I bring the plan.
Community Nothing worth doing gets done alone.
Culture and change Shifting what a room believes is possible.
