I have a rich and varied background as a Black, Queer, Disabled woman and I'm enthusiastic about giving voice to underrepresented people who may not have felt seen or heard yet.
I'm interested in nuance, complexity, intersectionality and self-contradiction. I explore this in all my work using surprise, challenging assumptions/stereotypes, and I aim to celebrate humanity in heartfelt and humorous ways.
Selected for Edinburgh TV Festival's "Ones To Watch” 2024-25, and a successful graduate of the Disability Belongs Entertainment Lab 2024, my passion in all my creative work is to tell stories people haven't experienced before.
My background on screen as an Actor, having worked with Directors such as BAFTA and Academy Award nominated Luca Guadagnino, has helped provide me with plenty of industry experience to help inform my work off-screen.
