My Current Home
Right before January 1st, 2018, I knew that I couldn't stay in Houston. There is really nothing in Texas for me except family. I really don't even know how to describe my Journey. As I'm writing this, I resist the urge to cry. I didn't know how I was going to get to LA. Someway, somehow I was moving. I needed to be there, especially for my career. I would say, "I'm a writer/director. I want to work in television. I want to work in this industry." I heard someone once say, "If you're trying to get into tv, and you're not in LA then you're not tryna get into TV." How? That was the question.

The Sad Truth
It was a normal day when I decided to walk to the nearest Family Dollar. I had a few essential things to get. Most times I go to HEB but today, Family Dollar. As I walked up to the cashier to pay I noticed she seemed depressed and tired, like life wasn't going her way at all. The question just came out of me, "You seem tired, are you okay?"

The Day I Danced Freely
I graduated college a year, one month, and one day ago. It's been a struggle. I got a B.S in Mass Communications, emphasis in Electronic Media. My goal is to work for an online media company such as Buzzfeed or companies like Conde Nast. If you don't know Conde Nast Entertainment, I got one hashtag for you...#HurtBae.
