Writer Statement

Can people not want to have sex? Like at all? After years and years of feeling like a crazy person when people around me seemed to be always talking about sex and I couldn't care less, I finally discovered the asexual spectrum. Currently, I'm still questioning and working through my own identity and orientation but within that journey exists an exploration of modern dating that encompasses so many other topics; the evolution masculinity (especially Black masculinity), monogamy, separating romantic and sexual feelings, and religious thoughts on sex and dating, just to name a few.

In all my work, I aim to make something that I needed to exist when I was younger to better understand the world; no other show on TV explores discusses transforming masculinity, monogamy, and the flip side sexuality and I want to explore that space.
