About Me

Lynn Briggs is the Founder/CEO of the Merge Project LLC; is a global consulting and media literacy platform.

During her career, Briggs made her debut as a program director (Stevie Wonder owned KJLH- Los Angeles), music director, promotions director, account executive, voiceover actor, principal with TMG Marketing, and public relations for the National Football League. As student advisor, and executive producer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Briggs created the university’s inaugural morning show “The Morning Rebellion,” and was instrumental in media placement for several UNLV graduates.

  • I Am PerspectiveGaining perspective one conversation at a time.

    "Right now, there's a level of false empathy that we exude as people. But if I sit here and talk with you and you tell me about intimate stories about what's going on in your home and how that's affecting you, it becomes different. " - Jo'rell

    I Am Perspective curates programs that are intended to nurture and respect each and every shared perspective, providing a safe space for all, free of judgement or personal inhibitions stemming from societal pressures, like the need to be ‘politically correct.’ With targeted explorative questions, every conversation also challenges participants to dive deep within themselves to uncover the “why” behind their current perspective.
