In 2019, I joined the creative team for Blacker, an award-winning comedy series about racism created by Rhett Owen and Eric Lockley. Most recently, Blacker was screened at the Bowery Film Festival. We’re hoping to get more episodes to your small screen soon. Check out the series website to watch the first two episodes and be in touch if you want to partner on distribution. ;-)

Last month, I was invited to Narrowsburg to present at the Deep Water Literary Festival alongside other world-class writers interested in retelling Grimm’s Fairy Tales. I had an amazing time presenting excerpts from The Clark Doll as part of “Snow White and Black” a performance that looks at the classic tale through the lens of race.
