I am overjoyed to share that I have been officially accepted into @howardlawschool

Over the past three years, I’ve worked tirelessly and passionately to balance:
My collegiate studies as an Economics Major at @howard1867 as 1 of 10 scholars selected for the intensive Bachelor of Arts to Juris Doctorate Dual-Degree Program
In tandem with my myriad of Creative Endeavors: Acting, Screenwriting , Producing, and creating on every front.

From securing internships/externships with the biggest companies in Entertainment, to stepping up into Leadership + Mentorship Roles on campus while juggling my academic studies, to starring opposite Hollywood Stars onscreen as a working actor represented by the industry’s premiere talent reps:

I’ve not only accomplished what I’ve been consistently told was “impossible” - I’ve done it all...and excelled...and I’m far from finished.

When I left home to begin this journey, I knew that I would be charting the path less traveled and that most would not understand my long-term vision:
To nurture a unique career as Multi-hyphenate & Social engineer with comprehensive Business and Creative Acumen.

Through the ebbs and flows - I’ve learned so, so much: I’ve climbed, soared, fallen, pivoted, learned, but most of I’ve grown, immensely.

To my family, my friends, my mentors - my village: Thank you. Every uplifting word, encouraging text, late night phone conversation - each and every ounce of support and belief steadied me...propelled me to continue to excel and walk in my light and purpose. My journey is far from over, in fact.. it’s just beginning.

To younger me: It’s not just possible, it’s reality. CARPE DIEM. Walk in your light & follow your North Star.

I’m beyond ecstatic to be continuing my journey at The Mecca: To join the rich legacy of change-makers, advocates, industry-leaders, and visionaries that represent @howardlawschool is an esteemed privilege, and I am honored to join the family.

Here’s to purpose, prayer, and trust and belief in the path forward.

HU!!!

WE MADE A MOVIE!! ❤️

A few weeks ago, we officially wrapped NEXUS, my directorial debut — a true labor of love.

Seeing a world that once existed only in my mind come to life through the generosity, imagination, and artistry of so many incredibly talented people is an experience I’ll never forget.

To each and every beautiful soul who poured their time, energy, creativity, and care into bringing Nexus to life: thank you. Thank you for trusting me, believing in this vision, and giving so much of yourselves to make this film possible.

So much love for my team and what we made together. Beyond excited to share our film with the world, in time.

Until then, here’s a few of my favorite moments from set.

More soon ❤️

Excited for yall to see my first action film & represent my HBCU(s) @howard1867 & @howardlawschool on the big screen!🦬
