My Story

Charles was raised in northern Virginia, not far from Washington, D.C. by queer parents in a unique and loving household. He carries this suis generis, compassionate spirit with him in all that he does.

Which has been quite a lot — he started writing a film review column for his small town's local newspaper at 12 and hasn't let up since, contributing arts criticism to outlets like Slant Magazine and Spectrum Culture to this day.

He graduated from Vassar College in 2019 with a degree in film and english, solidifying his cultural literacy. You could call him something of an expert on American film comedies and rap music from 2005, on.

He's made guest appearances on podcasts and fostered passions for fitness, fashion, aesthetics, and politics, all of which weave into his work.
