I'm a filmmaker, media producer, and educator. I directed (and shot and edited and scored) the award-winning documentary "Fannie Lou Hamer's America" youtu.be/5h2MzXavgEg.

Frequently bewildered but doing my best. Proudly transgender, grifters be damned. Hoping to connect with likeminded folks.

My department used to have a picture board of faculty members in the lobby. A student saw the board and asked whether one had to be a white man to be an oceanographer. The department took immediate action to remedy the situation: They removed the pictures.

Music is astonishing, highlight is Freedom Song by Roberta Flack (just after a haunting sound clip of her visiting a former slave prison in Ghana). Pressing is immaculate and sounds brand new with Obi and inlay intact.
