Carri is deeply engaged with film and TV that takes on the urgent cultural questions confronting America and the world. Carri spent 12 years in politics and government, including serving as Special Assistant to President Obama and Director of Public Engagement for Vice President Biden. Following her time in the White House, Carri realized the levers to social progress and change lay in the cultural work of storytelling.

She is focused on challenging our status quo media narratives.

In the wake of the social reckoning of 2020, Carri became a founding member and expert advisor for the non-profit, Ally2Action, to help guide and inspire people interested in repairing America’s racial divisions.
