Sean lives, works and writes the Monday Morning Lift from NYC.

A former Black Studies and English major at Amherst College with an extensive analytical foundation, I have applied my creativity and communication skills to elucidate my earned secret: lived experience.

 Humble beginnings…The MML is an email newsletter loaded with quotes meant to challenge, goad, and encourage readers. Its inception came during an internship at Octagon (a sports agency in Mclean, VA) in 2009, before which I would train with the Georgetown Football Team in the morning. I would then get to the office and need an inspirational lift, thus the double entendre of a physical lift coupled with a mental lift. 

 The MML transcended my small intern class at Octagon. The first edition of my working, adult life was published on September 07, 2011 5:36 AM. Then in March 2017, we switched to Mailchimp after a good friend, Stephen Peyser, challenged me. He goaded: “You are working hard to produce this great content that ultimately can change lives. It should look GREAT… it’s all about delivery and presentation and you are a curator of content, so why not crush the delivery.” The evolution continues…
