My Philosophy
Quote He Lives By
Being who, I am in God! Traveling life's journey each day and way. I am granted another chance to make a difference in ministry through the Arts! My philosophy has grown to seek God in everything you do. As there is never a failure in doing the work of it's spirit, only learning experience that allows it to be my success. In man's eyes, your failure is what most praise. Beyond my own faults, mistakes or lack of communication; "I conduct myself in living ideology of science, that my negatives only equals my positive." So, I am left to create, unite and inspire; as I would have them to do unto me. This is my philosophy.

I am one man who is misunderstood, as many think I am trying to be comical when I say, I always wanted to become a stripper but ended up a praise dancer. Becoming a playwright, all started when the rejection began at that age 18 mark. Nearly achieved majority of my goals, sitting with my grandma, "you need to stay in the arts!" Fast forward, it was my wife and god brother who took my script and offered my first script reading. Never wanted to produce it, had no clue how too. They both became ill and eventually died and with all the love and support, I decided to take on the task to purchase a show with only $20. First show ever, thinking the church would be packed with all the people I knew of the church, fooled me. Maybe 50 with my loving cousin! I have to mention her, because she came to the show the next day with curtains, plants and everything else to dress up my stage. I was really confused. This same cousin came to my house after my first show. This woman had ordered me business cards, flyers and stamp. Honestly, she started my company before I knew I had a company. I wasn't planning anymore shows. Yet the reflection of my show was honoring due to knowing my associates (streets drug dealers and prostitutes people from school and community) humbled themselves to come into the church FINALLY and supported and years later they still do. So, I saw a value to what I can possibly change to make a better community with better people through Arts. Not knowing this would cause me to be in war with those I admired yet was condemning those drug dealers and prostitutes that supported me, yet I not seen them support anything I do. So, what my grandmother encouragement to do, my late wife and god brother pushed me to do, and what my cousin started me to do. I continue to serve as I know best, as your Playwright of Atlanta. To offer encouragement, education and exposure through entertainment.
