Gullah Geechee
Cultural & Dialect Consulting

Authentic. Accountable. Primary-source expertise for film, theater, television, publishing, gaming, and documentary.

Gullah Geechee is one of the most misrepresented languages in American media and one of the most requested. When your project requires authentic cultural representation, there is one credential that matters above all others: having grown up speaking the language firsthand while dedicating more than two decades to researching, preserving, and teaching it.

Dr. Jessica Berry partners with creative teams to ensure language, culture, history, and storytelling are portrayed with accuracy, respect, and authenticity from development through production.
