My name is Myles and I’m a NOISE Maker, a native North Omahan, a son, a Black man, a leader. Growing up I’ve always yearned for equality. From a young age I have been aware of the vast disporportions that exist amongst people. Inherently I have strived to promote balance and create an equalizing through my work and in my daily life.

As the Digital Content Strategist it has been my pleasure to assist in providing our community with vital news through NOISE’s social media accounts and website. I align myself with NOISE’s mission to provide information that is representative of people at the center of the story.

Along with being a NOISE Maker, I own a digital marketing agency called TheAfter. Since its inception in 2016 we have worked with many community advocates and organizatons and are dedicated to providing solutions that are sustainable and upbuilding for everyone.

We strive to empower local businesses and community advocates by amplifying their voices. Utilizing design, SEO, and social media to reach community members and ultimately cultivate the world we want to live in.

In 2015 the Greater Omaha Chamber in collaboration with the Urban League of Nebraska Young Professionals conducted a survey that revealed a need to create connectedness and opportunity for Black residents. In 2019 TheAfter along with LeFlore Creative were contracted by the Greater Omaha Chamber in partnership with I Be Black Girl, Urban League of Nebraska Young Proffessional, Young Black and Influential Omaha to create a website that serves as a resource for engagement in cultural experiences for Black people.
