Here you’ll find samples of my original works of screenwriting. Original television pilots, webseries, short films, and feature films are all represented. As a note, I like pointing out upfront with all of my works how dedicated I am to bringing diversity to Hollywood. Even if the descriptions of these scripts don't mention the main characters' races or sexualities, the majority of my stories feature non-straight women of color in the main role(s).
ORIGINAL TELEVISION PILOTS
Kala is time, personified, a creature only seen in myth. And everyone wants to either use or destroy her power. Her only protection comes in the form of a wisecracking 19-year-old man, and his younger sister that has mysteriously traveled back to Kala’s time from the future. Two problems arise: firstly, only Time should be able to move forward and backward. And secondly? The only way for someone else to become Time is to kill the current personification and take the power for themselves. So who is Melinda and, in her future, what has happened to Kala?

A thirteen-year-old foster child named Rose goes on an unexpected adventure when the characters from her favorite book come to life right before her eyes. What she doesn't realize is that, as a symptom of withdrawal from the medication she's been on all her life, Rose isn't just imagining the book's world. She's hallucinating it vividly, and truly believes herself to be traveling through it. Back in reality, her social worker, Emeraude, and Em's husband, David, are tasked with bringing the wandering child back from the cold, stormy Autumn evening outside before she passes the point of no return.
FEATURE FILMS

Only, when the king puts her in an untennable situation where she has to choose love over country, she'll discover a truth behind her father's actions she's never seen before.
