I aim to focus my work around the intersection of race, femininity, and Americanness. If we’re collaborating on stories that are community driven/centering non nuclear family structures/funny, that’s a sliv/slaff/sley.

I believe in audience alienation, and that it is healthy for perspective expansion. I want to make art that acknowledges the past, invests in the present, and realizes a future worth chasing.

I believe in specificity and community building. Home only starts to feel like home if welcomed inside.

I believe in speaking with kindness, in creating with kindness, in seeing a person before their craft.

I believe in making them laugh if you’re going to make them listen - as long as we’re punching up.

I believe in strong femme leads. I believe in strong femme directors. I believe in strong femme leadership. I believe all white casts and creative teams are violence.

I believe in 5, 10, 20 years I will cringe at what I think I know now in the same way I cringe about myself years ago and what I thought I knew then. I want to be able to change when that happens.

And-
I believe it needs a plot.
