I used to be the shy kid who would barely raise her hand or speak her mind.

I've always been interested in directing, writing, and producing, so when I went behind the scenes, it was like a whole new world that I got to experience.
I want to get to the point where I can retire at 21, and my whole family is proud of me. That's the goal in everything that I do.
One of my mom's favorite movies growing up was 'Big' with Tom Hanks. I thought, 'Oh, OK, what if we do something like that but not like that. Something more modern, with a different perspective, and maybe with an all-black cast.'
