Artistic Statement

I write character-driven plays about race, women, power, and the limits of law, often set against a historical backdrop. My plays are subversive, darkly humorous, and grounded in rigorous historical inquiry. My work centers stories of Black resilience while challenging dominant narratives and inherited conventions.
