After getting my laptop stolen back in October with none of my scripts backed up - I took a hard look of what mattered most to me. I finally decided to raise funds for my action short film “HOUSE OF BALLS". The short deals with women playing dodgeball and feeling empowered! After 9 years of playing, I hope you donate whatever you can to help bring this production to life! $5, $10, $20, $100. DONATE. Spread the word.

Watching @kingjo02 and @cameronjmatthews act is truly mesmerizing, seriously. I feel like they can hear my grunts through the phone every time they nailed a certain line or made a move. Despite the weather conditions that day, this short film is coming together quite nicely and helps address the question of narcissism in our own lives. #thecurb https://www.instagram.com/p/BtO4Ik5FxIO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hi1xkfrab0o1

Today I wrote this on my arm to help me finish carding my pilot. It’s probably the second hardest story I’ve had to write. It’s personal. It’s me. It’s, honest. I’ve been making excuses about not writing it because it shows ALL my flaws and imperfections of my life. But I want to finish a draft before end of 2019. Get it out. Lift a weight off my shoulder. #undertheinfluence https://www.instagram.com/p/BqvGDHchg__/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nupfb33wzjo4

(Link in my profile.) On October 5th I flew into Oakland to direct a short film for a friend. My friend and I stopped at a bar to grab a bite to eat really quick. Put my stuff in his trunk, 20min later got a text saying someone used two of my credit cards. Went to the car, they took EVERYTHING. They took my luggage with my favorite Oaklander sweatshirt inside, my new pink Jansport backpack, medicine, prayer book, my business laptop from Netflix AND my personal computer which had ALL my scripts, that weren't backed up. Right now I'm in the middle of production and still replacing things. I just replaced all my pants they stole...of course they took the pants that only fit me lol. My apartment keys, car keys, house keys, clothes, glasses, medicines, which all cost over $800, equal to one of my paychecks. The one thing I haven't been able to replace is my computer. My friends renters and auto insurance didn't cover what was taken from me. I know I'm asking for a lot but I need your help to replace my computer. I filed a report with Oakland and Emeryville Police Department, (see above) and my mom went to the gas station where my card was reportedly used and reviewed the tape with the gas station manager, but no luck. My friend is offering his discount code for a refurbished computer, but it still comes to $2000. Any amount you can give means a lot to me. I'm rewriting my scripts on my work/business computer, but I have to give it back at the end of this show and make sure it's in the office at all times. I greatly appreciate it if you can't donate to please share this post with friends. Thank you in advance. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQouzohcrr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mq4t68sk7cno

Oh yeah, I’m working on this show now. #FamilyReunion Tia Mowry (Sister, Sister, Instant Mom) and Loretta Devine (Grey’s Anatomy, The Carmichael Show) are set to headline Family Reunion, a new multi-generational, multi-camera comedy series for Netflix. The streaming network has given a 20-episode order to the project, created and executive produced by Meg DeLoatch (Fuller House, Eve) and directed by Eric Dean Seaton (Prince of Peoria, Modern Family) #scriptcoordinator #netflix https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEFte7hWJb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fq8tt2z92yqe

A few weeks ago, I spoke on a panel alongside my fellow lovely assistants, @oneadamgeorge @lorrankydank. It was great, definitely an eye opener and helpful to know we’re all on the right path. Keep writing y’all. @wgawest @wgafoundation #wga #diversity #writers https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFDy8chsWK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5j2s7r9mqtu5

Literally when I landed in Los Angeles I got this email. This is a much needed blessing I’ve been praying for and I’m happy to know @womeninfilmla keeps encouraging me and supporting me since I’ve joined. Happy to have a director mentor, especially a female 🙋🏽‍♀️ #mentor #director #wif https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzQeP6jJtg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=126lsrqtzjjav
