A native Houstonian with Liberian roots, I’m an actor, writer, director, producer, artist, entertainer and business professional. Since graduating from Carnegie Mellon University with a major in Business Administration and a minor in Drama, I’ve become an award winning actor and filmmaker. Though acting is my passion, it is my joy to create powerful content and to tell stories of underrepresented people, places and things. To date, I created and produced the web series Shrink Wrapped, for which I was nominated ‘Oustanding Lead Actress in a Comedy’ by LA Web Fest, wrote, produced, directed and starred in the short film COIN, which is the winner of a WorldFest Houston Bronze Remi Award, produced and directed the We Make Movies Film Challenge winner Mama Wanna, directed the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge short Super Inappropriate, which screened at HollyShorts, and wrote the screenplay EXIST which won second place in the inaugural We Make Movies International Film Festival Screenwriting Competition. I’m delighted to be collaborating with Anthony Bertram and our talented team of creators to bring Weight of the World to the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival!
