Any Film I Do Is Not Going To Change The Way Black Women Have Been Portrayed, Or Black People Have Been Portrayed, In Cinema Since The Days Of D.w. Griffith.

It Is Really Important That Young People Find Something That They Want To Do And Pursue It With Passion. I'm Very Passionate About Filmmaking. It's What I Love To Do.
