WHITNEY JORDAN was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jordan discovered her love of film at a young age. The movie JFK, directed by Oliver Stone, was one of the many movies filmed at her home and she played with the likes of Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones in her backyard. At the age of ten, Jordan sang at Carnegie Hall in New York City and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome as a member of the New Orleans Children’s Chorus. 

While she was attending The Asheville School in North Carolina, she declared she would settle in Los Angeles after college. At seventeen, she signed with her first talent agent in New York City. Following success in print work, she studied film production at University of California Los Angeles and screenplay writing taught by Ted Baehr, founder and C.E.O. of Movieguide®. After a semester in Spain and receiving a Bachelor of Science in psychology from the University of Mary Washington, Jordan moved to L.A. where for three years she apprenticed under acting coach Stephen Book. 

She moved back to New Orleans after living in LA to found the Crown and Shield foundation with utilizes the power of storytelling to educate and inspire kids. Media is called a super peer because of the level of influence it has on youth, so I believed it was time to start using that for good. We created content for kids by kids and for kids by professionals. But it’s our business structure that really sets us apart from other nonprofits.
