"Telling Black Stories Through Black Voices"
Filmmaker. Producer. Director. Creator.
"We as Black people have to tell our own stories. We have to document our own history because when we allow someone else to document our history, the history becomes twisted, we get written out, and we get our nose blown off."
- Erykah Badu
“ I want to see the Negro pictured in books just like he lives. But, if you write that way, the white book publishers won’t publish your scripts, so I formed my own book publishing firm and write my own books, and Negros like them, too, because three of them are best sellers.” - Oscar Micheaux
