As Seen In
Liberian-American founder, writer, and producer.
I’m a Liberian-American founder, writer, and producer.
I built the Bushwick Film Festival in NYC from the ground up—now in its 18th year—and run a production company in LA called Starlit Pics. I write, produce, and act in original film and TV projects, bringing creative teams together to craft stories that resonate across audiences and create real connection.
Alongside my creative work, I’m a seasoned speaker who’s been booked by universities, conferences, and global brands to speak on topics including film, producing, navigating the entertainment, storytelling, as well as entrepreneurship and women empowerment.
If you're looking for someone who can create, lead, and deliver—whether in front of an audience or driving the vision behind the scenes—let’s connect!
My Work
Bushwick Film Festival
The Bushwick Film Festival is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to discover emerging voices, share great stories, and build community through the power of film. As an MWBE organization, we are proud to be part of the 12% of film festivals in the U.S. that are owned by women of color. With over 1000 yearly film submissions from 60+ countries, the festival draws 5000 attendees and features the top 100 indie films from NYC and beyond. In addition to film screenings, the five-day festival includes a red carpet opening, a movie industry conference, networking events, a screenplay competition, and a closing night awards ceremony.
The Bushwick Film Festival has received recognition from City and State Elected officials for its significant contribution to Brooklyn's cultural, artistic, and economic growth. With the generous support of our partners and sponsors, we are able to expand our free public programming and develop filmmaking programs specifically designed to empower and uplift underrepresented storytellers in the Brooklyn community.
Starit Pictures
I founded Starlit Pictures to tell bold, character-driven stories that bring fresh perspectives to the screen. From dramas and thrillers to socially driven documentaries, the work I produce explores the complexity of the human experience across cultures and genres. Recent projects include Guardians of the Gibbons, a short doc made for The Guardian about conservation and oil impact in Northeast India; The Writer, a queer drama set in New York and Lithuania; Her Possessive Guard, a vertical series blending romance and action; and New York Day Woman, a beautifully layered short about a Haitian American woman who secretly follows her mother through New York City, uncovering quiet strength, cultural identity, and generational bonds. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and is now screening in cities across the U.S.
In addition to producing work by other bold filmmakers, I also develop and perform in original projects that reflect my voice and creative vision.

As a speaker, host, and moderator, I bring nearly two decades of experience in film, media, and entrepreneurship.

I’ve had the honor of speaking at TEDx, Google, SAG-AFTRA, JPMorgan Chase, and leading universities—always with the goal of making the creative journey feel more accessible, empowering, and real. Above all, I strive to leave people inspired and energized to take their next step.
