collaborators & recommendations

Below are the names of talented BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or disabled creatives with whom I have collaborated and whose work I greatly admire. The excuse is too often given by producers, writers, directors, publishers, agents, casting/hiring teams, and production companies that they “couldn’t find anyone” with a given marginalized identity to include in their work. I have created this list as a way to elevate my fellow artists, to recommend their talents, and to say that there simply is no excuse.
