About Me

I have a small independent production company called nubian sisters productions. We have been working on a documentary set in Cuba for the past three years. The thrust of nubian sisters is to feature stories of the African Diaspora-- especially those stories of the women of the Diaspora. We are conscious minded and work in a collaborative setting with a beautiful group of like-minded and talented artists.nefrtiti.jpgBODY BGCOLOR="3CB371" BACKGROUND
