I want to create worlds that bring my perspective into the arenas of film, television, and graphic novels. Raised between two completely different worlds and spending the majority of that time living in poverty in a bad inner city neighborhood helps shape you. When you are of mixed ethnicities like myself, self-discovery and identity become the heart of a majority of your stories.
