About me
For two years I’ve hosted the podcast Uncharted, intent on spotlighting creatives, queer POCs in particular, within the entertainment industry. This project encapsulates the enthusiasm I have for having discussions with creatives. I want to tell stories that represent experiences that resonate with me whether they're my own - through screenwriting, or amplifying another's voice through writing informative articles and conducting interviews.
Projects
  • 'Don't Talk To Strangers'

With themes on brotherhood and friendship, the film follows Marlon as he learns to find self-worth and create meaningful bonds with the people in his community.
