It’s Not Hard to Take Charge: A Woman’s POV on Directing Films
As a woman, I'm sometimes asked why I picked a male dominated business to be in. My response is always the same, “Besides nursing and teaching (with the exception of university, then the workplace mostly consists of males), most professions are already male dominated.” They stop and think about it and then say, “You’re right.” Any woman that wants to have a professional career of her own must always compete among the men.

From 'Real to Reel': The Three E’s of an Independent Filmmaker
If I ever told my mother that I was homeless when I stayed in Savannah, GA for film school, she would have killed me. I remember the day I graduated from Virginia State University and thinking to myself… 'What the hell am I going to do now that I graduated school?' I just received my bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management, but I knew that was not what I wanted to do. My heart wasn’t in it at all. I knew what I wanted to do, what I wanted to be, but I just d…

The Only Rule Is Success - 3 Lessons I Learned
The Only Rule is Success. Sounds easy, right? Not always, but it is something you can trust.

My life began on a beach in South Texas, with a family from a farm and a college town in Arkansas. I always knew what I wanted -…

What Are Your 2015 Goals?
