I finally did it! I received my Masters of Fine Arts in Film & Digital Technology from Chatham University! It was a long and hard road, many late nights, and pounds of coffee, but I can finally day that I achieved one of my dreams! Thank you to all of my family who supported me, my professors who guided me, and to my friends who became family during my short year there!
And what better way to end my program with producing my thesis film "Ripples."
When I was about to graduate from undergrad, my mother gifted me with a jar of paper hearts. The jar contained nine or ten hearts with inspirational and motivational quotes given to me by both my mother and grandmother. A thousand hearts later and a newer and maturer understanding of social justice issues, “Ripples” address everyday social injustices with a hope to transform and motivate a community to combat all forms of prejudice.

Thank you again to everyone who was involved, without you this film would not have been possible, without you my message would never have been heard.
Thank You.
Thank You.
