Stills from my short film KATRINA, based on my stage play.
Two strangers find themselves trapped in an abandoned hospital room during Hurricane Katrina—where the ghosts of their past come to haunt them.

Written, Directed, and produced by yours truly.

Coming Soon.

Whewwww writing and marketing a book series about a Black boy being magical is not for the weak.

As a Black man from Alabama who decided to go against the grain by picking up the pen instead of a football, I’m constantly having to fight for space that does not want you there.

Black boys and their stories in YA are often pushed aside or not supported enough.

So I want to highlight this beautiful YA that focuses on queer Black boys and necromancy.
