WHO? Nomad. Writer. Rattler. Afrofuturist. Minimalist. And then some.

WHAT? I write about people trapped in rigged systems, across plays, screenplays, poetry, journalism and speculative fiction. Each form examines these systems from a different angle. I create what I call Theatre of the Cipher: puzzle-box plays with characters trapped in constructs beyond their control. My screenplays turn these systems into psychological thrillers. My fiction dissects them with a blade of speculative satire. My nonfiction investigates how they shape the world around us. My poetry deconstructs what remains.

Whether on the page, the stage or the screen, my writing is designed to agitate, agitate, agitate — plotting the path to escape at the price of breaking free.

WHERE? My partner in crime and I grew up in the Bay, but now we stay on the move, traveling together for the past 15 years. From Panama to Paris, Morocco to Japan, from remote Himalayan villages to coastal cities in Kenya, we live everywhere and nowhere, drawing inspiration from anywhere.

WHEN? Every now and again.

WHY? “For while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn’t any other tale to tell, it’s the only light we’ve got in all this darkness.” — James Baldwin (Sonny’s Blues)

HOW? I Go To Work.
