I am compelled by transcendence. By our ability to reframe, re-imagine and re-define the world as we move through it. 

I love Hip Hop and the spirit that animates it.

I am haunted by the injustices of our collective history. I write to call account and to revive the dead. 

I seek out humor - laughter it is not merely a comfort, but the joyful elation felt when truth finally knocks on the door. 

I am a playwright of mixed race. The African Diaspora and the Western Tradition are both essential parts of my identity. I do not forsake one for the other. I let them collide, support and invigorate each other. 

I am a Bahá’í. I work for the realization of an ever advancing, united world civilization.
