About Ryan Reeves

I quickly learned I had a passion for story telling.I always loved books and movies and video games, but the moment that it really stuck with me that I want to be a writer and filmmaker was when I took my first acting class my freshman year of college. To be transparent my counselor thought it would be an “easy A” for me as I adjust to freshman life on campus. I walked into my first black box theater… and let’s just say I lost my STEM scholarship a year later when I switched majors.I have earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Television at Savannah College of Art and Design, where I have worked on multiple student and professional sets. I have a passion for journalism, creative writing, podcasting, direction, and talent casting. I especially have a knack for telling stories from a black and brown perspective, as I aim to tell the stories that need to be told, and to amplify the voices that are often silenced or unheard.Currently as a Joe Budden TV Community Moderator, I help manage one of the largest online forums in the black podcasting space. I moderate hundreds of tweets every day, edit and share videos and clips from the Joe Budden Podcast, and engage with over members. I also have worked as a freelance content curator, moderator, and editor for various content creators on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, such as Voch Lombardi, 801 Bros, caitdoeseverything, etc.
