Kae (an Afro-Chinese, closet-queer, comic book artist) reconciles different aspects of her identity by escaping into a fantasy world where demons—such as family trauma, colorism, and more—are easier to slay. When she embarks on a journey to find extended family abroad, the lines between fiction and reality fade irreversibly.

ANOTHER PLAY YOU CAN BOOK!
1001 Nights: Love Stories On Death Row (A Rock Opera)
​
The legendary, storytelling Queen Scheherazade is reborn as Shezadi—a Black, queer, immigrant mother and abuse survivor who shares stories about her life, and folklore from her culture, in order to remain sane during her imprisonment and impending execution. Dina, African-American corrections officer and fellow abuse survivor, relates to and clashes with Shezadi by sharing her own stories. Please inquire about awards, development, or to book.
ANOTHER PLAY YOU CAN BOOK!
Jaguar Woman
​
Trickster-storyteller, Enitan, guides you through an immersive neo-folktale that observes what happens when corporate greed threatens a Quilombola community in Brazil. Based on my 2007 novella of the same name, Jaguar Woman is commentary on all "Western" culture—including that of the United States—a poignant reminder that the real-world threat of fascism looms even as the borders of reality fade. Please inquire about awards, development, or to book.
The Forest Protector
Play my choose-your-own-adventure style phone game about a girl who gets lost in the woods and the friends who try to find her. There are 30+ endings based on your choices! This was a fun way to try episodic writing under a deadline, come up with lots of cliffhangers, design characters, and pick scenery/music. To play click the blue link above, download the Chapters App, create a profile, and re-click link. Or search
"The Forest Protector" in
Community Visual Games.
