About Wes W.

We have to try and change the world. — Larry KramerI am a strategic storyteller and LGBTQ advocate dedicated to "unboxing" the conversations society often avoids. With a background rooted in Journalism, Industrial Psychology, and Mass Communications, I sit at the intersection of media production and high-impact health advocacy.As the Co-Founder of Unboxed, I led the evolution of a grassroots six-week social media project into a multi-year adventure to tell community stories. Whether I’m on a couch asking about you or holding your hand while you wait for your HIV results, my mission is to create safe, unfiltered spaces for raw honesty regarding sexual health and community identity.Currently, I balance my role as a Prevention Supervisor with my work as an Impact Artist and storyteller, leveraging decades of leadership experience to drive community-focused initiatives. I believe that every story is valid, and I use my platform to ensure those stories are told with zero shame.Core SpecialtiesMedia Production: Video & Audio Editing, Post-Production, Multi-Cam Filming, Sound Design.Editorial & Journalism: Long-form Interviewing, Narrative Storytelling, Content Strategy.Strategic Leadership: LLC Management, Project Management, Talent Relations, Brand Development.Advocacy: Public Speaking, Health Education (HIV/STI Prevention), Community Engagement.
