She is also the director and editor of her first award-winning film “We Belong: Navigating Medical School As Black Women” and is currently working on her next docuseries, “Magnifying Glass” which explores how Minneapolis serves as a magnifying glass of the slow nationwide decline of DEI and fight for justice in medical and public health spaces since 2020. She is also pursuing her MD-PhD in Epidemiology but for fun enjoys singing at different community events with her youth and young adult community choir, Known MPLS, engaging in community work and health activism and desires for all her work to uplift unseen stories & heal others.
