Biografia

I apply for something every week. Yup. Every week. Now think of how many things I announce that I have actually gotten. I hustle for more than I receive. As it should be. You never know which one is the door. So keep trying that key in all of them.

I think being a female is hard. I think being an artist is hard. t is hard being female in America. It is hard being African (or the other) in America. I create anyway So put those things together and of course it is hard. I got over it and I created anyway...and threw shade about it on Twitter whilst I did. It is hard being Black in America. I I don't wait for the audition, I create my own work and start from there. It is hard but it is a calling not a choice.

As women, we are constantly put under pressure and we thrive under it. We constantly have people hanging a clock in our face and telling us our time is running out-sounds like my producer. We have always been given the bare minimum and been told to make the most out of it-looks just like my film budgets. We have the ability, should we want to, to create a whole new human being-what is a film to us? That is nothing. If you have walked through this life as a woman you have what it takes to be a filmmaker.

Make it. Do it. You already know how.
