Long time no talk! 2010 was a transitional year for me as a writer, director and producer. I worked on several new amazing projects, wrote a screenplay and directed and shot my first webseries, the Brown betties Guide!





One of the highlights was directing and producing a music talk show hosted by Wendy Williams for BET International! I had an awesome crew and my right-hand at BET Int'l Lilian Bossman really helped me pull it all together!

And guess what! Just recently found out that my show has been nominated for a NAMIC Award!!! That's the word on the street! How YOU doin?!!



I also had the chance to work on a wonderful series for moms for the internet television network DECA TV. The series was called HerStory, and I found some wonderful and inspiring stories. Recently, the series was picked up by Nickelodeon's Parent's Connect, where it's getting phenomenal feedback! Check out the two episodes I did! In fact, checkout the whole series!!!

I also got the chance to work with some of my favorite women on the talk show series My Black Is Beautiful. Hosted by the hilarious and wonderful Kim Coles, and the vivacious Vanessa Williams! I helped produced 6 episodes of this series, now in Season 3, which was a branded entertainment show sponsored by Procter & Gamble.


Another amazing experience was working on TV One's primetime talk show "Way Black When"! We took it waaaay back by celebrating black history month in this innovative way. Looking at the culture of music, politics and film during the1970s, 1980s and 1990s. As a producer for the 1990s, I worked with host Christopher "Kid" Reid of Kid N Play fame. Our guests included Mario Van Peebles, Malik Yoba, Lynn Whitfield, Robert Townsend, Bell Biv Devoe, and Yo-Yo! It was a blast! And my favorite band of all time, Mint Condition was the house band for the series!


In 2011, I promise to keep you much better up to date on the happenings of Black Pearl Filmworks--we have some great things coming up!
