As a woman and storyteller, I place great importance on being involved in projects that use film to challenge social norms and elevate conversations. My work in television and film is a commitment to my craft.

The Recipe
8 Official Selections | 8 Noms | 2 WINS: BEST ACTRESS & PEOPLE’S CHOICE
In a re-imagined America where slavery and the Jim Crow South never existed, Olufemi Adisa (Crystal Porter-Bazemore) is burdened with her dying mother's last request-to find Carol Anne Cole (Jennifer Althen Beacham) and deliver a cherished family recipe. This recipe, intended to fulfill a promise Olufemi's father made but never completed, symbolizes a chance at healing and forgiveness. However, the path to reconciliation is obstructed by a violent shared history, including a murder that occurred 22 years earlier.
