Since the age of 9, I have been creating short films to help young people with better decision making in life and following their dreams. I am trying to help youth in urban communities nationwide, and would like to reach them to help with making better decisions in life. Many youth struggle with peer pressure, but about 60 out of 100 choose to make bad decisions by choosing drugs, guns, alcohol, stealing, etc.

Presently, I am sharing my projects with youth at schools, youth centers, churches, conventions & other places. I speak to youth at these places to give advice about making better decisions in life and following your dreams. I write & direct projects that does not have cursing, the use of the "N" word, or degrading others. Recently, I had my first educational book publised. It is also used as a tool to reach youth and to help educate them.

When I become successful, I plan to invest in another young person's life. My motto is "Make the right decisions".

While the cause I chose is only a piece of the puzzle, it is a big piece. Teens in America are facing challenges that no other generation before them has faced. The media has set up programming that will coerce them into certain attitudes and lifestyle choices from the time they are young. For example, what they wear, moral authority, relationship choices, violence, etc. My desire is to give them an alternative to being raised by the media and bringing the hearts of the children back to the parents and visa versa. To do this I am working to establish a youth center in my community where young people can come and spend time with each other, their families, and escape the world outside that offers them so many unwholesome opportunities.
