Hi, I'm Alexia

I’m a publicist and journalist working here at the Otter Raft! I can’t wait to learn more about you and get you and your story into the media.

It's great to meet you!

A Little About Myself

Background:

Alexia is a multimedia guru who wears many hats. Along with working as a publicist for Otter PR, she is also the editor, founder, and head publisher of RoyalTee Magazine as well as a Walt Disney World media partner. She is a graduate of Florida A&M University and is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists, ForbesBlk, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Prior to joining Otter PR, Alexia worked as a television news producer for ABC, CBS, and Spectrum news outlets. She also freelanced for media outlets such as Romper as an entertainment news reporter and has interviewed celebrities such as Tia Mowry, Marsai Marin, Lance Bass, and Kyla Pratt. She also occasionally contributes and edits for the Florida Courier — Florida’s only statewide Black newspaper — and covers major media events for BET, Paramount+, and Walt Disney World.

Alexia started working for Otter PR on Valentine’s Day in February 2022. Since that time, she has landed dozens of her clients coverage in top-tier and niche outlets including the Red Table Talk, Newsweek, NBC, Haute Living, LA Wire, NY Weekly, and Black Enterprise.

 

Favorite Client Types:

Alexia loves working with clients in entertainment and entrepreneurship spaces, specifically those with platforms that are making an impact and difference in a larger societal issue. She enjoys pitching clients with current event news angles, which allows them to not only share their insight on a relevant, timely topic, but also explore their versatility.

As a woman of color, Alexia has a special passion for representing clients and brands in minority-relevant topics, giving them the platform they need to properly tell those angles.

 

Otter Things To Know:

As a natural Florida girl currently residing in Tampa, FL, Alexia loves the beach! Alexia juggles work and parenthood. She’s a first-time mom, “a #girlmom to be exact,” she says, to a beautiful baby girl she is head over heels in love with, and has a pet parakeet named Lemon Drop. Alexia is very family-oriented, so she loves spending time with family members and close friends!

As a magazine publisher, Alexia loves coordinating editorial shoots, being a guest on podcasts, and speaking opportunities. She also regularly hosts media workshops for professional organizations such as the Tampa Organization of Black Affairs (TOBA).

When Alexia isn’t in Florida, she can be found jetting between L.A., New York, and other cities working on her next big project for RoyalTee Magazine or at Walt Disney World resort covering the next big thing as a media partner!

Are you a good fit?

The amount of publicity they have generated for has been nothing short of impressive. It has dramatically increased new clients by 30% and I have seen my platforms grow 2-fold
