Her breakthrough short film I Am Not the Norm aired on KERA’s Frame of Mind series and earned recognition from the YoungArts competition. Her work across projects such as The Letter, Zuri, and Ramadan for Aminah has received accolades from the NAACP ACT-SO, the Denton Black Film Festival, and the Oniros Film Awards. Most recently, she was announced as a recipient from the Austin Film Society.
