Telling the stories that institutions would rather leave untold.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio — poor, Black, and feeling pretty invisible. That experience of being unseen is the driving force behind everything I make.
I'm a veteran who has traveled widely, witnessed injustice across cultures, and spent years doing community work with organizations like Karamu House — one of the oldest African American theater institutions in the country, where I have performed since 2012.
A trip to Senegal and time training with Djapo Cultural Arts Institute — learning African drumming and dance from the inside — inspired me to research story, rhythm, and what gets passed down through generations.
I trained at Cuyahoga Community College and San Francisco Film School. I make films about the things systems try to erase, and I am committed to empowering people in marginalized communities through the power of storytelling.
An original short film.
A commercial production.
A production about Black excellence, identity, and the forces that threaten both.
A Black bioacoustics researcher, seven months pregnant, discovers that ancestral rhythmic frequencies are biologically encoded in her unborn child's cellular structure — and that an institution has been suppressing that finding for thirty years. A psychological thriller about who owns the information inside a body.
