Unique traits: A faith-driven storyteller with a divine mandate to transform lives through powerful, purpose-centered films I specialize in crafting redemptive and socially conscious narratives rooted in real-life struggles, hope, and restoration. With a background in ministry, education, and leadership, I bring authenticity, spiritual depth, and vision to every script. As Founder of FACFO – "Refuge Center" and a first-time screenwriter, I am building a grassroots movement to launch a film and theater initiative in Liberia that raises voices, tells untold stories, and glorifies God through the creative arts. My work is inspired by conviction, compassion, and the call to leave no soul behind.
