Hi, I’m Cephra: a multidisciplinary storyteller passionate about bold ideas, human connection, and underrepresented voices. Whether I’m writing, directing, or producing, I create work that sparks conversation, invites emotion, and dares to imagine something new.I’ve supported creative development and production at Mandalay Pictures, Olive Bridge Entertainment, State Street and Rideback Ranch, contributing script coverage, pitch decks, and strategic notes across film and TV projects. At Mansa and the Walt Disney Studios, I worked on audience research, content strategy, and DEI analytics to champion inclusive storytelling. Earlier in my career, I also supported culture and engagement initiatives at Bumble and Twitter, helping shape the internal environments and strategy behind some of today’s most influential platforms.
