J. Rutherford
Applied anti-racism consultant
ABOUT ME
I'm is a dedicated mother of two, proud native of Portland, Oregon, and a seasoned professional in the field of digital content creation.
With over 15 years of experience honed in the bustling landscapes of New York City and Los Angeles, I have consistently demonstrated my expertise in crafting compelling and impactful digital content.
​
My passion extends beyond the realm of content creation; I am a fervent advocate for conflict resolution and anti-racism initiatives. Recognizing the importance of addressing media bias as a pivotal step toward fostering inclusivity and dismantling systemic racism, I founded the Responsible Media Group.
Through this groundbreaking venture, I aim to challenge and rectify the biases ingrained within media, by promoting accountability, intentional storytelling and fostering honest dialogue.

Campaigns
Producer/Director/Co-Editor - Anti-racist organization, RNW's credibility was compromised when called out for perpetuating racist workplace patterns. We had to look at ourselves and the toxic environment we were in, in order to get on the right track. The Seeing Ourselves series was created as an end-of-year fundraising campaign. To honor myself and my co-workers I decided to lean into the our teachings and to #trytruth. The campaign was met with and outpour of praise and support for the vulnerability and accountability in the series. The campaign raised over 40K.
