York University’s Tisch School of the Arts,
where she studied Film & TV. She creates
personal portraits that center Black women
that dare to use their voices and imaginations
to find liberation. Her stories take place in
Harlem, and move through time and space
using Black archives to explore the complexities
of childhood and family dynamics. In order to
blur the lines between fiction and documentary.
