Immigration Turf

As my first piece for The Game Changers Project I am tackling the issue of immigration raids on Latino families in the United States.

African In America: A Creative Bridge

In my first discussion with the GCP Producers at the beginning of this fellowship we spoke about using one of my films to explore the connections between Africans living in America and African-Americans.

Hidden Genius: Kalimah Priforce and Oakland’s First Hackathon for Black Male Achievement

Every summer my little cousin from Arizona, now 10 years old, stays with family in Oakland, California. He spends 99.9% of his time in front of the computer. Okay, that is an exaggeration.

In capturing Dominic Ware’s story, a story of resilience and solidarity, I was given the opportunity to connect with a young man that has both potential and ambition to spark change. Working with him, meeting his family, and seeing him really connect with his own past and where he wants to go in front of my lens was a honor and a blessing. All of the subjects I interviewed really
