ABOUT ME

A square peg who fits in round holes.

Throughout my life, I’ve found myself in places I never expected to be—or where others never expected to find me. More often than not, those places turned out to be exactly where I belonged. I’ve learned that creativity isn’t about blending in. It’s about bringing your whole self to the table (which can be hard), staying curious, working hard, and discovering that sometimes the best fit is the one nobody saw coming.

Your next work is always your best work.

I’m a two-time Emmy Award-winning producer whose work spans television, documentary, digital media, and visual art. My creative focus is screenwriting, where I explore themes of unexpected love, confronting the past, and the challenges of living as your true self.

Drawing remains my quiet in the storm—a place where color, pattern, and Black culture come together to create images that help people see themselves and imagine what’s possible.
