About Me
Journalist. Filmmaker. Screenwriter.
I share the same birthday as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4th. And, I always believed there was a purposeful meaning behind my birth landing on the most controversial holiday for the African-American race.
Through years of experiences and self-reflection, I have concluded the interconnection to be that: freedom must be continually, relentlessly sought after because it was and will never be a birthright.
Moreover, in the words of Nelson Mandela, "To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom."
