At heart, I’m a storyteller. I seek to tell important stories about race, religion, and history in as many ways as possible—sometimes that includes writing and commenting on national news outlets. Here are some samples of my work from various media outlets.

Pointing to the God of the Scriptures.
Cody is a native of Tulsa and a descendant of great-grandparents who were directly impacted by the infamous Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, in Greenwood. At 15 years old, after spending years with his father incarcerated since his infancy, Jesus graciously saved Cody as he was walking home from a party. That changed his life forever.
Cody earned a Bachelors in Pastoral Ministry and Theological Studies from Welch College. He is directly connected with the impact of mass incarceration on women and people of color in the United States. His true passion is teaching God’s word and listening to the vulnerable in our society. He believes that justice is the core element of our salvation, seeing that God seeks to make the world right and begins with those made in His image (Romans 3:21-26).
Cody also serves as Director of Family Life at Koinonia Church, a diverse covenant community in Nashville, TN. His mission as Director of Family Life is to show how Jesus redefines family (Matt 12:46-50).
