Why It Needs To Be Done
My work focuses on exploring our commonalities through our differences by highlighting marginalized views.
Black
5.1% of Hollywood Showrunners are Black, and Black writers only make up 17% of writer's rooms.
Muslim
Most portrayals of Muslims are inaccurate, one-dimensional, and male-centered.
Women
15% of film directors were women in 2019, the highest percentage in the last 10 years.
