Movement as medicine. Stillness as strategy. Story as a tool for transformation.

I’m a wellness-centered filmmaker and community leader devoted to embodied, science-informed care. My work lives at the intersection of movement, mindfulness, and storytelling—particularly in service of Black communities and those historically excluded from rest, nature, and self-discovery.

My path to wellness didn’t begin on a mountaintop. It began in stillness. After years on film sets and in survival mode, I paused—and that pause revealed purpose. Through breathwork, mindfulness, and reflection, I reconnected with my body, my spirit, and the kind of leader and artist I was meant to become.

Today, my work is grounded in over 2,000 days of mindfulness practice, certifications in emotional intelligence and trauma-aware coaching, and ongoing studies in neuroscience and holistic wellness design. This foundation allows me to build systems of care rooted in science, embodiment, and equity—designed to support regulation, presence, and long-term well-being.

Through CLMBMOR, a nonprofit blending nature, movement, and mental health, I create space for young Black boys to explore both their inner and outer landscapes. Our Mindset Program and Adventure Club use climbing, running, breathwork, and emotional intelligence to help participants build resilience, joy, and connection

My creative work lives in story. Through PROJECT BLACK TAPE, I write and direct narrative films that explore fatherhood, healing, and the quiet power of becoming. My short film, The Elephant Gown, screened across major platforms, and my most recent project, Home—funded by the Wading for Change Grant—follows a father and daughter navigating jazz, loss, and love in the wild.

I’ve also hosted Venturing Out, a travel series exploring the connection between culture, movement, and self-discovery. In addition, I created and hosted the ONE WRD PODcast, a conversational series centered on listening deeply—inviting artists, thinkers, and everyday humans to reflect on a single word and what it means to them from their own lived experience.

Across film, forest, and classroom, I create experiences where wellness is accessible, embodied, and expansive. I believe creativity is care, and story is one of our most powerful tools for survival and transformation.

This is my life’s work—and it started with stillness.
