As a Gay Black male from Texas, I write plays about love from the experience of a gay man who struggled to understand the importance of loving oneself, which speaks to the complexity of love. Love is about hope and fear, and I create characters who find it difficult to express love and fear that they will never discover true love.

The theme of my plays comes from my experience of living in Europe, New York City, and multiple cities in the United States while I worked in the fashion industry. I write characters who understand that style and taste are synonymous. I create none stereotypical Black characters who speak from the heart with an international point of view regarding race and equality. These multi-dimensional characters are strong, determined, and flawed. They use powerful, poetic, and provocative language to express their viewpoints. I write complicated female characters who are protagonists, and their actions and deeds within the play show the strength of being a woman.

I create plays with a compelling twist of a who-done-it that deals with cultural identity, interracial couples, sexual violence, colonialism, and economic injustice – all themes relating to promoting diversity, social justice, and the hope for a better tomorrow. I want my plays to expand the current dialogue and expose additional insight into dealing with those issues as we learn to embrace our difference with honesty and truth.
I believe that theater has the power to influence and change people’s lives, and I am grateful to be a part of that world as a playwright. When the audience leaves the theater, I want the audience to have an emotional catharsis that sparks the desire to seek the change necessary for a better world and to believe that it is possible.
