Last week, we made a film.
I invited a select few into my home to bring “home improvement” to the stage, and it became the most beautiful, freeing experience I’ve had as an artist to date. I’m endlessly grateful to everyone who showed up — it means the world that, after five years, you said yes. You sat with me as I laughed, cried, and told the truth of who I am now.
To Jasmine, my incredible friend and host — thank you for stepping in without hesitation. You understood what this night meant to me, and I am forever thankful. To James, my DJ; Joshua, our saxophonist; and Edward and his phenomenal Black male film crew — thank you. Your focus and passion helped lift me into my own creative pocket. To my mama and sister, who helped bring this vision to life, and to my fiancé, who hosted until the stars slept — I love you deeply.
Art is imagination — dreams, visions, bravery. For me, “home improvement” has been about stepping into a space where I feel safe and free. Now, this piece of work is ready for its wings. I can’t wait to share it with you all.

#Rear had a SOLD OUT screening at @lashortsfest last night. Thank you to all my family and friends who attended. I wouldn’t be here without my support team. Grateful for the opportunity to screen in front of a sold out audience who had nothing but great feedback after the screening. More big upcoming screening news coming shortly.
