I make up stories. Fantastical, darkly comedic, unsettling stories. Stories that explore Black womanhood and mental health in the spit and spirit of childhood tales.
VAGABONDING SINCE 2011
Long ago, I sold all my stuff and left Northern Calif. to travel across Southeast Asia. I’ve been nomadic ever since, living out of a bloated backpack in India, Kenya, Austria, Peru and beyond — often looking after uncanny creatures while shaping my craft.
THINGS FOR THEATER
Short plays I’ve written have been produced by Fade To Black Play Fest, The Navigators Theater, MOJOAA Performing Arts and others. The Incredible Darling(s), a full-length play about conjoined sisters, was awarded the SLF Gulliver Travel Research Grant and is a 2023 Bay Area Playwrights Festival semifinalist.
FROLICKING IN FILM
My feature screenplay So Unfair, an anthology of remixed fairytales, has been supported by the SFFILM and “Stranded” (a part of the feature) won the best screenplay award at BlackStar Film Fest.
In 2021, I found my way to directing through my debut short film, “Daraluz,” a haunting and poetic tale set in Central Mexico. The short won the best film award at entertwine, WOCU and Shudder’s inaugural 48-Hour Horror Film Fest.
OTHER STUFF
Outside of theater and film, I’ve got travel tales and photography featured in Ebony, NYTimes, Whole Life Times, with poetry in Vagabond City and forthcoming in Obsidian Lit.
NOW
Living in rural UK with sheep, Highland cattle and a husband, I’m at work on a feature film.
