My work has appeared in periodicals such as The Jamaica Observer, Rap Pages (Los Angeles), Ebony magazine (Chicago) and many others. Since 2002, I've written an autobiography, two novellas set in Jamaica, a book of poetry, and I’m currently working on my debut novel.

In addition to writing, I have a great passion for film. Over the past 14-years I’ve continued to hone my skills as a documentarian and fiction filmmaker. I've written and directed five feature-length docs and over a dozen shorts.

At the behest of my two younger brothers, I started a podcast. It's available on Spreaker, Stitcher and Tunein. A link is below.

“The people we meet along life's path have the power to reshape our lives in unimaginable ways. Sometimes to our detriment. We have no way of preparing ourselves for this inevitability. No early earning system to protect us. Whatever the outcome, we are left with the arduous task of surviving it.”
