Claudette has worked at the intersection of activism, civic impact and entertainment for more than twenty years. Through her Asheville, NC based company, Silver Muse Productions, she regularly partners with other strategists to create cause-related communication strategies that reflect the individual needs of each client. With a strong emphasis on using public events to deliver the message, she engages the power of pop culture to move progressive ideas center stage. From developing GOTV events for Gloria Steinem during election years to designing an alternative fuel plan for the Lollapalooza tour that was covered by MTV, Claudette creates compelling public programs that deliver the message effectively and with integrity. 

Prior to her foray into communications and public event strategy, Claudette received her B.A. in communication design from the American University in Washington, DC.  

Current and former clients include: Blueprint NC, Down Home NC, Stop Deceptive Amendments Campaign, Gloria Steinem, Perry Farrell and Lollapalooza, People for the American Way, author Ian Haney López, The New Yorker Festival, SPIN Academy, Bioneers, Equality Federation, Lilith Fair, The Breast Cancer Fund, and Julia Butterfly Hill, among others.
