Director Statement

As an artist one of my objectives in the cinematic discourse is to develop the womanist aesthetic: ethnic, social justice oriented, multi-dimensional. Poet/activist Audre Lourde wrote, “I am a black woman poet doing her work come to ask you are you doing yours.” Lourde knew that art should be both aesthetically pleasing and a vehicle for social change. To the question poised by Lourde I answer, “yes, I am doing my work.” My personal history, coupled with the longer legacy of being born from enslaved people, has constructed the fabric in which my work as a filmmaker will exist as entertainment and social work. These two components are often thought of as mutually exclusive; however, in narrative and documentary film both can form a harmonious marriage. In this respect, I believe film should change consciousness, educate as well as entertain, and motivate its viewers for social action –- all of which can be achieved without compromise of artistic integrity.
