Rough Magic - Based on a book by the same name. A chance encounter at an airport. A connection that feels like fate. A relationship with rules they know they’ll break. With beautiful chemistry and a haunting score, Rough Magic asks: How do we maintain our sense of self when we get lost in love?
THE PUNCHLINE
“If we only had a year to live, what would change in us?” Most people build altars after someone dies. The Punchline urges us to build those altars now, to our own lives and the moments that touch and change us, while we’re still alive. Through humor, story, and ceremony, The Punchline reminds us to live in the present and celebrate it as sacred, because it won’t last.

BOOKS
In a Black / white world, what is the role of Brownness & that profound, expansive middle space? Brown Enough is the quest to find an answer.
An enchanting artistic exploration of the journey of conception that is filled with vibrant and timeless imagery-this book is just as beautiful as it is educational.
My mission is to create spaces of belonging and art that lets people fall in love with each other and their own lives.
Art that sparks dialogue, disrupts binary thinking, challenges white supremacy, and demands conversation. Above all, I believe in the power of telling one's own story as an essential tool for healing, communication, and gaining freedom.
