Creative storytelling = lean, clear, concise, and emotionally relevant content. With a combined 17 years of production expertise, from concept development to post-production, I have a unique perspective that stems from humble roots. I’ve helped launch new brands, communicate company visions, showcase product launches, and roll out feature services for dozens of clients in over 15 countries around the world, all while supporting multimillion-dollar sales and selling hundreds of thousands of online courses, not to mention increasing brand awareness.

The soon-to-be film will shine a light on the complex intersection between modern black and white culture and the ensuing racism, stereotyping, and cultural misappropriation that still arise from it. As a society, we have taken meaningful strides towards equality, and yet, it often feels like one step forward and two steps back.

Disney is looking for experienced writers and directors from underrepresented backgrounds with diverse and varied perspectives, including but certainly not limited to women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, various religious groups, military veterans, people with disabilities and others, to produce a short in the Disney Launchpad: Shorts Incubator program. The theme of the program is “Connection,” a timely idea with unlimited interpretations. “Skewered” fits nicely into this program as it’s about family, cultural issues, and, most of all, connection.

“It WAS, IS, WILL BE” is a poem I wrote at the height of the COVID crisis as a way to share my perspective on how to understand our changing understanding of life .

I once was a- felt like a- thought like a- did like a- talked like… someone. Am I still me?  Memories fading, buildings fall, people change, I see it all. But why? I yearn for more. I feel it. I hear it. I see it. Just through the door. What are we? We’ll never know. A movie without an ending. A prayer without meaning. To live. To dust. No more. They think I am. I think I am. I know I am. We think we are. I know we are. Who am I? I shall be. Can be. Will be. Must be. Or maybe I’ll just be. A thought. A feeling. A memory. A dream. Flowing down a running stream. It was. It is. It will be. It shall be. It must be. It can’t be. Fleeting. Fading. Faltering. Rest. I woke up this morning and opened my eyes. There was light. Goodnight.
