I tell stories without shrinking them.

I don’t want to simply place Black characters inside existing kinds of worlds.

I WANT TO BUILD

INSIDE THE STORY

WHAT MAKES
A DEJAUJHN
BLACK STORY?

THE GAZE

Who gets to be at the center changes the story.

THE GAZE

Who gets to be at the center changes the story.

A big part of my work is changing whose eyes we're experiencing the story through.

I'm interested in whose fear gets believed. Whose mistakes are forgiven. Whose love gets taken seriously. Whose anger is considered justified. Whose version of history becomes the version everyone else accepts.

Black women and Black queer people aren't on the edges of my stories watching everything happen.

We're the point of view.

Change the gaze and you change the story.

DIFFERENT STORIES.
SAME DNA.
