WRITING
My work is rooted in voice, vulnerability, and the moments we don’t know how to explain. I write about love, survival, and the stories we build to protect ourselves, whether they’re true or not. These are plays and novels meant to be felt as much as they are read.
Below you’ll find a selection of my writing projects, some created nearly ten years ago and others still in progress. Each piece includes a brief description of the story, along with a sample or excerpt so you can step inside the world and get a feel for the work.
Ruth has spent her life holding tight to God, to tradition, and to the apartment she once shared with her late husband. But when gentrification makes it impossible for her to survive on her own, she is forced to open her door to Riley, a young white gay man whose presence threatens everything she believes about the world, and about herself.
Just next door, Destiny and her children are fighting their own battles with faith, identity, and survival. Her son Jaden, a queer dancer whose belief in God was shattered by the church, carries years of quiet resentment toward Ruth for the way she treated him growing up. When Jaden and Riley’s lives collide, love begins to bloom in a neighborhood that feels like it is vanishing by the day.
As romance, religion, and resentment collide, When We Get Home asks what it really means to belong in a world that keeps pushing you out. Set against a community slowly being erased, this is a powerful, intimate story about queerness, Blackness, forgiveness, and the complicated, fragile idea of home.
Fifteen-year-old Siya James does not mean to become a symbol.
In a segregated Southern city on the brink of explosion, all Siya wants is to survive the weight of her family’s grief, the secret growing inside her body, and the constant fear that shadows every Black girl’s steps. But when she refuses to give up her seat on a crowded bus, a single act of defiance sends her life spiraling into the center of a movement that does not know what to do with someone like her.
As civil rights leaders scramble to shape a fight for justice, Siya discovers that courage is not always rewarded—and that the truth of who gets remembered is far more complicated than who was brave. Caught between history and erasure, girlhood and womanhood, hope and devastation, Siya must decide whether her voice is worth the cost of being heard.
A Trace of Resistance is a haunting, lyrical reimagining of a forgotten moment in the fight for civil rights, told through the eyes of a girl whose story refuses to be quiet.

Jackson Clark is happily married.
He lives in a small apartment with his beautiful wife, Ava. He drinks his coffee, forgets his pills, kisses her goodbye before work, and waits for his therapist to arrive.
Or at least… that’s what he believes.
In a world where memory fractures and reality slips, Jackson’s carefully constructed life begins to unravel under the watchful eye of Dr. Collins and the nurses who claim they know the truth. As his past slowly resurfaces, so does a devastating question: What happens when the only thing keeping you alive is a lie?
Come Back Later is a gripping psychological drama about love, manipulation, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Told in a seamless, fast-paced flow, the play pulls the audience inside the mind of a man desperate to hold onto the one thing that makes his world feel real — even if it never was.
