Hi! I’m Courtney Wilkins,
but you can call me Court for short.

I am a published, multifaceted creative from Indianapolis, IN. I reside in Los Angeles, CA, as the Global Copywriter, Manager for Fenty Skin by Rihanna. I received my Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design + Fashion Merchandising from North Carolina A&T State University and my Master of Arts in Fashion Journalism from the Academy of Art University.

I have over a decade of experience in editorial and commercial storytelling for several brands, companies and small businesses. In addition to my work as a storyteller, I am a multi-hyphenate creative strategist using my skills and in-depth knowledge of the latest trends and best practices in the industry to help businesses and individuals elevate.

Keeping my voice real, open and entertaining is the backbone of my content. As UPRISE's founder and creative director, I aim to shine a light on fellow creative and innovative visionaries who are impacting society by reinstating their power, voice and influence. As a micro-influencer, I bring both brand strategy and creator insight to every project — helping brands connect through culture, not just content.
