“I consider myself a Mississippi native but was also raised in Alabama, Washington DC, and Los Angeles. This allowed me to experience the duality of life in a rural landscape and a suburban mecca. During my undergraduate years, I found my passion for writing and directing, specifically to foster social justice within communities of the underrepresented and oppressed, using both drama and comedy.”
