Biography

I have always been extremely curious. As a child, as soon as I could talk, I would constantly ask my mother questions about the world. One day a salesman came to our apartment and although we had very little money, she purchased a set of World Book Encyclopedias. Then when I would ask questions she would simply say, "look it up." I eagerly read those books from cover to cover.

Being a versatile artist has saved my sanity in this industry. My solo show, Did You Do Your Homework? won a NAACP Theatre Award and a Romanian International Gala Star. My play, BROKEN, won a Max Lerner Fellowship and my children's novel, Jesse and the Caterpillar Who Got Its Wings, was nominated for a RSJ Literary Award. My screenplays: The Passion of Sun, To Lie Beneath, The Longest Goodbye and A Long Way From Sunday, as well as my television pilot, The Sub, have won or placed in a plethora of screenwriting competitions and festivals.

Also, a talented actor and singer, I have starred, guest starred or co-starred in many film, television, stage and musical projects.

Hailing from Roxbury, MA, and currently living in Los Angeles, I hold a B.A. from SDSU and a M.A. from USC.

Biography

I am a multifaceted, renaissance artist whose HS music teacher once told me, I "spread myself too thin." Blessed with a multitude of artistic talents, I write compelling stories, through several genres, that speak to the complicated and universal experiences of African American families....and I credit my music teacher for being absolutely wrong. I have always been extremely curious. As a child, as soon as I could talk, I would constantly ask my mother questions about the world. One day a salesman came to our apartment and although we had very little money, she purchased a set of World Book Encyclopedias. Then when I would ask questions she would simply say, "look it up." I eagerly read those books from cover to cover. Being a versatile artist has saved my sanity in this industry. My solo show, Did You Do Your Homework? won a NAACP Theatre Award and a Romanian International Gala Star. My play, BROKEN, won a Max Lerner Fellowship and my children's novel, Jesse and the Caterpillar Who Got Its Wings, was nominated for a RSJ Literary Award. My screenplays: The Passion of Sun, To Lie Beneath, The Longest Goodbye and A Long Way From Sunday, as well as my television pilot, The Sub, have won or placed in a plethora of screenwriting competitions and festivals.
