iMPRINT - Official Trailer
Iâve spent time wondering from which vantage point Iâve been creating art. The truth is, my art in some way speaks to my fears. This particular project speaks to the tenderness, beauty and protection of a daddy-daughter relationship but also the fears, sad struggles and the fragility of innocence that comes with the absence of a mother, of inclusivity.

iMPRINT is a story about when a deaf widowed father is forced to unfold the concept of racial divide to his impressionable daughter after a life threatening experience.

Save Yourself - Official Trailer.
I originally wrote this during a depressive episode. Drowning in self doubt and judging my own inadequacy and wrote about it. How painful, right!?
But what can I say, itâs the poet in me!
To this day, at each step of completion, I see this story differently and Iâm like, âuh oh, does this even make sense anymoreâ. My point is, Imposter Syndrome manifests in many forms, this is one.
Thank you to my entire team! đ¤đŹ

As a woman, it is so hard being underestimated. Moreover as a black woman, Iâve even heard someone say, âoh a black American woman is just a watered down version of an African womanâ as if it isnât hard enough to be a double minority without our men looking at us as last on the totem pole. The overwhelming disregard for the women who have sacrificed blood, sweat and tears for us to become our ancestors wildest dreams is unsettling to say the least. Nonetheless, I remain eternally grateful for this existence. I didnât choose this existence but I will always honor this existence. Shoutout to @arilennox@indiaarie@michelleobama@yarashahidi@tarajiphenson #tonimorrison @tierrawhack@oprah@chimamanda_adichie@rapsody@traceeellisross@amandaseales@cynthiaerivo@ava@violadavis & many others unnamed for being graceful glimpses of God. This is an ode to all my brown and black womenđâ¨

Week 2: Save Yourself. đŹđ
Iâm an actorâs director at heart and this project is where I really found my rhythm. this set was all about the craft and the chemistry. Iâm most proud of the chemistry we captured on screen.
Out this Friday on YouTube. Link in bio. đ
Itâs time to open the vault. đđď¸
my films have spent the last few years traveling festivals, national TV, or hidden behind private links (iykyk) but itâs time to give them a home.
for the next 3 weeks, Iâm releasing my projects on YouTube. weâre starting with my second project ever, Bare w/ BRCA. this one is pretty personalâI wrote it after discovering my own BRCA gene results.
I won my first award for Best Female Director with this short story of mine and Iâm grateful. Itâs a 10 minute glimpse of the anxiety that surrounded me at that time. Iâm proud of the awareness this film brought and Iâm proud to finally share it here.
