As a filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist, I’m drawn to themes at the intersection of personal and collective identity. My work examines memory, conflict, and transformation, particularly within the contexts of migration, generational inheritance, and the nuanced politics of belonging. Across my filmography, I explore how our greatest journeys often reveal themselves through intimate, everyday gestures.

Over my past four years of artistic development, growing older, learning who I am, where I fail, what I live for; I’ve emerged with a renewed sense of purpose. I realized that what makes film feel almost sacred to me is its ability to give voice to overlooked and underrepresented subjects.

As a Jamaican immigrant raised in the U.S., I work to examine what it means to carry inherited beliefs and roles across borders. The subject of my film is an elderly queer person, a woman who in the last months of her life, reckons with her lifelong desire to live as a man. As well, her fear that this truth may keep her from entering heaven.

The history of violence against transgender persons, subjugation of queer identities in post-colonial diasporas, the labors of class divide, and Christianity's profound emotional and social power are the subjects that drive this film.

This film seeks to place a deeply personal and often controversial story into a visual archive that rarely centers Black queer people in complex spiritual and emotional roles.

Why I’m Asking for Support

I’m committed to making this film in Jamaica, in collaboration with the community and cultural contexts that shape this story.

As a student filmmaker, I’m fundraising to cover production costs, including travel, equipment, fair pay for local collaborators, and the resources needed to tell this story with the care it deserves.

Your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, helps bring visibility to a narrative that has long gone unheard. You’re helping create art that bridges generations, honors Caribbean queer histories, and opens space for conversations rooted in empathy and understanding.

Thank you for believing in this project and in the power of storytelling to shift culture, heal memory, and expand what is possible.
