Sometimes
A queer love song for folks redefining love, gender and partnership.
#RECOGNIZEmyHUMANITY
A four-part mini-series that provides a glimpse into the complexities of cultural stigma, and the resistance that occurs when individual healing takes place.
The Anxiety Project
A tale of a young queer Black man battling the cycles of anxiety.
Don't Tell Nobody
A true story about a girl who was a victim of family violence in response to her sexuality. On her 14th birthday, she is now at a crossroads; continue to live in pain, or let it all go forever.
Some of These Bodies Are Not Mine
A mix of spoken word and visual storytelling about grief and rest in relation to Black identity.
Litany Part 1 and 2
LITANY uses brown paper and imagination to create new world collage. LITANY is an exorcism expelling antiquated notions of Blackness, queer identity, spirituality, grace, rage, and healing.
Dismantling the Lie
Black women are innocent in the crime of self hate. We aren’t born not seeing our greatness; we are taught it doesn’t exist. Then we are taught that we aren’t beautiful, and the men from our own community will grow up to support this.
Unbothered
“Unbothered” is a music video ode to Black women's happiness, captured in time, and how making the best of a bad situation is sometimes art imitating life.

Black women are innocent in the crime of self hate. We aren’t born not seeing our greatness; we are taught it doesn’t exist. Then we are taught that we aren’t beautiful, and the men from our own community will grow up to support this.


This short is a collection of images of me in my normal daily life to prove to myself that I just have to look to see my worth and fire. It’s always been there, and it’s always been lit.
