- Dare to DreamLast year I was commissioned by Youtube Originals x Livity to create a spin off Terms & Conditions film. I’m very excited to start of the year with Dare to Dream, starring Joe Bay. The short documentary explores societal systems that fail black men through a musically charged dialogue between him and the female influences in his life.

- Black GloryThe stigmatisation of black women's hair has gone unchallenged for far too long. This has been fuelled by the idea that there is only one way to be beautiful and by extension, acceptable. Project Embrace aims to challenge this narrow and outdated idea of beauty. This short film addresses the discrimination and micro aggression black women face but also show them just how worthy they are of positive representation and celebration.
