In the wake of the George Floyd reckoning, my friend Donovan and I launched a podcast dedicated to promoting inclusivity and equal representation in the entertainment industry. By spotlighting underrepresented artists and by examining, or "black lighting", the industry's power structures, we hope to champion the diverse experiences of these contemporary industry professionals.

Playwright & Co-Producer
A fictional play that explores a man's mission in the after life while his family unpacks life without him on earth. Inspired by the passing of my late father, it explores LGBT+ themes, loss, and faith. Directed by Jennie Eisenhower, Philly director and descendant of presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.

Program Manager
Passage Theatre Company's "Motown Meets Trenton" was one of the most rewarding projects I've partaken in. It was a summer training program for high school students in Trenton that provided them the tools to create a revue while learning about the importance of Motown. It is vital to me that Black and Brown students see themselves reflected in the entertainment industry, and I learned so much from watching them grow in this program. Passage's mission to create "theatre for social change" has inspired me greatly, and has paved the way for artists in the New Jersey and Philadelphia communities.
