@mnandi_productions @makhu: What is a successful moment in your career so far?
Winning an award for my first documentary.
@mnandi_productions @makhu: What is your biggest concern with the future?
Due to Covid 19 the entertainment industry has taken a huge hit. Not sure how we will bounce back working in large groups. Our lifestyle is also unreliable so this made it worse.
@mnandi_productions @makhu: What’s a defining moment in your life?

@cocoelaineg @sasha_and_condi: What is a successful moment in your career so far?
SEX IS A GOD THING (@sexisagodthing), is a short film I’ve collaborated on (writer, actor, and executive producer). It’s been making waves in the festival circuit – just virtually premiered at ClexaCon (@clexacon) – and a feature is currently in the works; with potential for an attached producer.
@cocoelaineg @sasha_and_condi: What is your biggest concern with the future?
Uncertainty. History still repeating. Hard heads. There is little stability in a writer’s world, and being a queer black woman, it feels like we have spurts of time when it’s OUR moment to be queer in the media, then to be black in the media, and maybe to be black and queer.
