I am a Black Southern playwright shaped by small-town Alabama, by the magic, the struggle, and the spiritual inheritance of the people who raised me. My work lives at the intersection of realism and the fantastical, a place where Black boys find their power, where community becomes a form of resistance, and where the past sits beside us, whispering reminders about who we were and who we can become. I write plays that honor the traditions I grew up with, storytelling that carries rhythm, heat, laughter, and ghosts. I build worlds where Black characters are allowed the full expanse of humanity: messy, brilliant, sacred, loved, and complicated.
My plays explore legacy, identity, and the ways Black folks navigate systems that were not built for us, but also the ways we dream beyond them. I am drawn to characters who stand at creative, emotional, and spiritual crossroads, and to the quiet revolutions that happen in kitchens, barbershops, classrooms, and church basements. I believe theatre is a communal ritual, a space where the audience is invited to witness transformation. Whether I am writing a supernatural thriller, a coming-of-age dramedy, or a story rooted in historical memory, my goal is always the same: to build spaces where Black stories are seen, valued, and expanded.
