As a screenwriter, I craft stories around
resilient women at a crossroads in life. My writing has been recognized by the
ScreenCraft’s Pilot competition, Black Boy Writes & Black Girl Writes Mentorship
Initiative two years in a row, and the 2023 Essence Film Festival, where I was awarded Best Screenplay for my pilot, Girl of the House.

However, Maya’s dream of independence gets derailed when she discovers her new apartment resides in a nursing home.Winner: Essence Film Festival 2023 Jury Award for Best Screenplay
