克里斯托弗-黄是一位摄影师和摄像师,在创造有影响力的视觉叙事方面有着丰富的经验。他与艺术家、公众人物、领导人、公司、C级管理人员、企业家、教育家、政治家、表演者、组织和学生等合作,捕捉他们的故事。

克里斯托弗在成长过程中了解到,白人男性主导的媒体和娱乐业以非人性化的方式不准确地讲述亚裔和亚裔美国人的故事是多么令人沮丧和有害。这种经历培养了他对其他被边缘化和非人化的人的同情心,并促使他以负责任和准确的眼光来讲述这些故事。这些经历促使他继续在社区之间建立跨文化的桥梁。

他职业生涯的一些亮点包括受雇拍摄一些亚裔美国公共媒体人物,这些人帮助激发了他追求创造性的道路。他特别自豪的是,他激励年轻的美国黑人讲故事的人控制他们自己的叙述。

克里斯托弗还就在组织的人际关系和营销层面用肢体语言创造更有同情心和更有效的领导力,促进强调公平、包容和归属感的文化,发表主题演讲并主持研讨会。即使在那些做了谈论DEIB的重要性的基本步骤,并在其组织的品牌宣传中展示带有 "多样性 "的图像的人中,也没有那么普遍,他们所说和所写的内容与他们在身体语言中所传达的内容相比,往往存在明显的脱节。
