Like my girlfriends Vanessa [Zeno] and Alyssa [Nelson], a mother daughter duo from Detroit.

They drive their forklifts, have on their hard hats.

It just makes me proud.

Tubi also has a library of my work, my films.

So its been a really good marriage.

Ive been really enjoying filming so far.

We have a Black director.

My costar is African American.

Its so wonderful to be doing a movie and look around and see my people working in every department.

Youre also directing a movie.

How did that come about?

I worked with [movie production company] MegaMind Media when I did a short film last year.

My film,Through Her Eyes,was dealing with mental illness and homelessness.

She kept her word.

Is directing part of your grand career plan?

My life is going into such a new beautiful chapter that I never saw coming.

Im grateful that people are trusting my skills to produce films to direct and deliver them.

I believe that, like skilled workers, women can do anything.

Were here to change misconceptions about qualifications and what women can do and deliver well.
