Besides a lot of junk from styling past shoots which is purely unintentional, I collect overheard conversations in my NOTES app on my iPhone.  I enjoy collecting these words both from overheard exchanges between strangers and phrases from those close to me. These real life conversations, these words inform my writing, but also my relationships –… Read More @Missmadhatter005: What, if anything, do you collect?

During my time there, it felt like I was unearthing an unknown part of myself. I had to face the uncomfortable… Read More @Missmadhatter005: What’s a defining moment in your life?

I decided to become a filmmaker because I wanted to be a storyteller and was enamored with the way that filmmaking mixed mediums to tell stories. It combined a number of my loves – writing, acting, music and design.

Now I am in post-production for a short film I wrote called @OurLoveTheMovie, starring myself and @KevinRBest. This project is also directed by @LaVarro, who did most of the directing on Bubbly Brown Sugar! I am also in development for a new series I am writing, while also working on my craft as an actor/writer… Read More @TamalaBaldwin @bubblybrownsugarseries: What are you working on next?
