Silver Dollar Road: Fighting Against Modern Colonization!
Today, I watched a new documentary with my kids called Silver Dollar Road for one of their homeschool assignments. I often teach them about the past to help them better understand the present, in regard to black life, and this documentary was a perfect example of that.
Silver Dollar Road is about a black family fighting to reclaim their ancestral land, a 65-acre waterfront property in rural North Carolina that they’ve owned for over a century, from racists and developers.

Differences Wins Big at The Freedom International Film Festival!
This past weekend, my first feature film Differences premiered at the Freedom International Film Festival in Columbia, SC to a sold-out audience and took home 3 awards, including Best SC Feature, Audience Choice, and Best Actress!
It was surreal to experience a film that I wrote and produced in front of a live audience and watch them laugh, cry, and think about things from a different perspective than they had before.

Cherish The Day (Season 2 Review)
Last month, me and wife watched season 2 of Cherish The Day and it was one of the best tv shows I’ve seen in a decade. Why? Because it’s one of the only modern tv shows that celebrate straight black love, authentically.
In case you’re not hip to the show, Cherish The Day is an anthology series about a day in the life of a black couple as they fall in love with each other.

Alice is about a slave played by the beautiful and talented Keke Palmar, who gets tired of being abused and mistreated by her master and develops a plan to escape.
