I collect books and gems. I’ve always wanted a big library in my house that’s several stories high with the ladder that rolls across the bookshelves. And I love gems because I’ve always been a believer of the metaphysical, astrology, and energy.

The advice I have for other women in this industry is that it’s not an easy road. They have to be strong, seek counsel, seek mentors, seek a therapist, because the rejections will really tug at your soul. You will fight the “I’m a failure” voice in your head often.  But you have to hold onto… Read More @starvictoriadirector: What advice do you have for other women in the industry?

I’ve had many successful moments. Every time I got to direct a project and have a finished film to share with the world is a successful moment.  Being the assistant director on A student Academy Award winning film, winning a gold Telly Award for my thesis film La Ruta, being in the Ryan Murphy director shadowing… Read More @starvictoriadirector: What is a successful moment in your career so far?

My biggest concern with the future really doesn’t have much to do with my career, because if I keep hustling eventually something good will come of it.

Because Cynthia says it so much better than I can: “Sometimes we lose sight of the adage “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Since lockdown I’ve connected with people and organizations that… Read More 5-Part Podcast Series with “Advanced TV Herstory”

I’ve always been a lover of movies since I was a kid. I knew when I was 13 years old, I wanted to work in the film / television industry. I thought acting was the only way to do that as there was very little representation behind the camera for minorities.  But then I started… Read More @starvictoriadirector: Why did you decide to get into this industry?

Right now, I am working on setting a premiere for Crystal & Chelsea, an independent pilot I wrote with my best friend Khiyon Hursey, starred in, and produced alongside my good friend Miranda Pancheco. It is very timely and about a psychic that scams white women into being less racist. It’s basically Don’t Trust the… Read More @thewittygirl: What are you working on next? In addition, if people want to find out more about you, where can they find you on social media?

I know this sounds absolutely insane. But every year I save all the drive-ons from studios I’ve gotten as a sort of measure of how much access I have in Hollywood. Bonus points for actual badges. This tradition was important to me as someone who temped a lot around various studios and worked as an… Read More @thewittygirl: What, if anything, do you collect?

Do not date in the industry and don’t be afraid to speak up. Do not be afraid to say that you are a writer or an actor or whatever you want to be, because I guarantee you, a white guy with half your qualifications is telling everyone that he is.
