Some called it gatekeeping. And, boy did I get flack for it on Twitter. But there’s a method to my madness. None of us would’ve come this far without one another.

A mix that looks like U.S. TV & Film audiences: Brown, Black, Asian, White, men & women. All ages, different social backgrounds and marital status'. Parents and childless folks. Living all over the US and abroad.

But most importantly, all legit industry writers: repped, staffed, placed, or produced

Every break makes me a little misty-eyed. This group started with one phone call (okay, maybe a few coffee dates) with my friend Esther.

She wanted a writers group. I’d hated every one I’d been in.

So I said: only if we do it right:

A focus. A timeline. Everyone working toward craft.

In that time, we’ve:
🎬 Gotten repped
📺 Worked at major streamers & studios
🏆 Finaled at Austin & Nicholl
🎥 Produced & directed features & shorts
✍️ Sold & optioned scripts. All while holding full-time jobs in the industry.

I am so sorry! But I know you will go on to do great things… but first, coffee? I’m in Culver.

I’m always open to collaborations and contributing original content for a fee. If you'd like to discuss rates or commission a post, feel free to DM me or email me for my rate sheet.

That said, at this stage in my career, my writing is paid. I invest real time, labor, and research into every piece, and I expect direct linkbacks to my website and pre-approved copy if anyone is interested in featuring my original work on their channels.

you’re choosing the easy way out. Silence is complicity. Laziness in the face of injustice is a privilege.

I don’t owe silence to anyone, especially not while my own community is under attack. You don’t get to call yourself an ally, or even decent, while defending what MAGA stands for. My conscience, my heritage, and my lived experience demand more from me
