I always live by the motto “Live Your Dreams” and when the pandemic happened, I took matters into my own hands to create a film that would allow me to live my dreams anyway. I have been acting for 10 years but with an industry that was shut down and a world filled with uncertainties, I decided to take a leap in faith and direct a story that was near and dear to my life’s experience.

As an African American female working in the entertainment industry, I am often misunderstood, along with other POC that I identify with. Can I Get A Whitness shows that no matter how hard I try, my identity is often seen as not being black enough or white enough to fit into society. My intention is to create a conversation piece that will extend compassion, understanding, and opportunities for all women of color.
