My name is Zakkyya and I am a communications and public relations professional with more than 20 years of experience supporting organizations in sharing their work clearly and thoughtfully.

 

I'm the founder of Main Street Creative LLC, a Connecticut-based consultancy that supports public, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations with strategic messaging, media relations, and content development. 

​

My experience spans corporate, nonprofit, education, public-sector, and agency environments. I’ve worked closely with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to shape communications that are clear, aligned, and responsive to both organizational goals and the communities they serve.

​

I have also taught undergraduate coursework focused on media and society and enjoy opportunities to facilitate workshops, panels, and community conversations centered on communication, representation, and engagement.

​

In addition to my professional work, I’m deeply committed to community engagement and equity. I serve on the Board of Trustees for the Martin Luther King Scholarship Trust Fund and am actively involved in initiatives that support access, opportunity, and representation. I am also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., an organization grounded in service and sisterhood.

 

I bring a thoughtful, collaborative approach to my work, with a focus on clarity and helping organizations communicate in ways that feel aligned, intentional, and reflective of their mission.
