Lately, she’s been venturing into film and television. She’s been staffed on two television series—Three Women (Starz) and Tell Me Lies (Hulu)— and is just getting back to work on her pan-African heist film with SuperSpecial for Orion as well as her biopic for Gosnell Duncan, the paraplegic, Grenadian immigrant who invented the modern silicone dildo. Her first original feature, THE SUBJECT (starring Jason Biggs and Aunjanue Ellis), in which a white documentarian deals with the moral fallout from exploiting the death of a black teen, is available on various VOD platforms after a successful film festival circuit during which it won over 30 prizes.
