THE HEART BEHIND THE WORK
More Than Media
You Belong Media was created from a deeply personal journey, bringing together my background in media and years of experience working within the disabilities community.
​
My work is rooted in connection, advocacy, and storytelling that reflects people with authenticity, dignity, and respect.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
COMMUNITY VOICES
Working with this Marissa was an absolute pleasure. She was professional, flexible, and incredibly responsive. The photographs of our graduation event beautifully and authentically captured the individuality and dignity of the people we serve. The final images exceeded our expectations and we will definitely use her services again and again."

Whenever I have a need for a creative idea, produced in a timely fashion, I immediately contact Marissa. With her vast experience and formal training in media, she can conceptualize an idea with a sense of style, and she is efficient in doing so. She designed the promotion materials for a scholarship I offer in memory of my niece that is stunning and sensitive, helping me preserve her legacy in a joyful way.
We work together on projects that support Soroptimist International, creating podcasts on important topics for women and girls. Again, her organizational and creative talents shine, as she listens to what people have in mind, take their musings, and shape them into a coherent message, all within minutes.
Marissa has the creative and organizational skills to turn ideas into reality, with her lighthearted touch."
