Unique traits:

1. Educator-Storyteller Hybrid
Bringing over a decade of NYC classroom experience into narrative structure — specializing in scripts that center unheard voices and classroom-rooted realism.

2. Culturally Responsive Writing
My screenwriting is shaped by years of teaching literature and social justice through culturally responsive pedagogy. I write characters that reflect the complexity of real people and communities.

3. Spiritually Grounded Narratives
I explore themes of ancestral memory, redemption, and spiritual awakenings—heavily influenced by mentors like L.C. Robinson and my own journey through education, race, and myth.

4. Five-Percenter Influence
My work—especially Our Harlem—is rooted in the metaphysics and urban poetry of the Five-Percent Nation. I write with a reverence for its language, rhythm, and philosophy.

5. Multiverse Architect
Several of my screenplays exist in the same narrative universe, weaving together myth, socio-political commentary, and intimate character arcs across multiple timelines.

6. Race-Conscious Genre Writing
From Nephilim to Dark Odyssey, I tackle fantasy, thriller, and sci-fi with a racial lens—disrupting the genre to make space for marginalized heroes and new mythologies.

7. Dialogue-Driven Intimacy
Known for authentic, emotionally charged dialogue shaped by real classroom conversations and community-based storytelling.

8. Story Mentor Energy
As a former mentor to young writers, I approach screenwriting with the same ethos: cultivate truth, hold space for the vulnerable, and challenge the status quo.

9. Grit Meets Grace
My characters often wrestle between violent environments and spiritual callings—a recurring motif influenced by my life in New York’s classrooms and my admiration for underdog stories.
