As a filmmaker and storyteller who has spent a good portion of my childhood in foster care, I feel I was lucky. I found my forever family. I even discovered a passion that God has put in me at an early age. I was adopted after eight years on National Adoption Day 2007. I come from the chains of generational trauma. I did not want to be a statistic which is why I worked hard as a kid and youth to strive towards that passion.
That passion not only turned out to be filmmaking but also a new found advocacy role for others going through the system I once was a number in. We push projects like this not only because I feel in todays market, there is a niche for these kind of projects but also because we need to bring the reality to film and media. There are SO many stories to be told. So many lessons and stories over overcoming adversity that NEED to be told. We struggled and been through a lot. But not for nothing. We are here to tell our stories and bring them to life on both the big screen and small screens.
