Every Dream is the seed that makes a creative mind grow

About Me

The past seven years Jill has worked as assistant head writer for a local comedy/video show 'Switchplaytv', making her mark into the world of sketch comedy writing.Her writing credits also include freelance work for ‘The Promoter, Connect with Detroit, Entrepreneurs of Detroit’ and, JADORE magazine. Interviews include Aku Kadogo [guest Director for 'Colored Girls who Considered Suicide when the Rainbow is Enough'], Russ Parr & Olivia Fox, Juelez Santana, Cee-lo, Ghostface Killah, E-Dub, Kulayd, model Ice Cold Champagne and, Detroit's news anchor Rhonda Walker.Among many other projects, Jill is a featured poet on Detroit's own Doc Chill up and coming second release remix cd 'Something The Lord Made'. A jack-of-all-trades, Jill's visionary eye has forwarded her creative mind into set decorating, wardrobe directing and, stage management for live shows. But, Jill's true passion unfolded as a writer when she wrote a bio screenplay for local artist Kulayd, entitled 'Save Me'. Inspired by issues that deeply touch our lives, her debut novel 'Mensoul’s' and, a theatrical play she's currently working on with Detroit producer, Melissa Underwood, places Jill in a whole other genre of writing among her colleagues.Jill’s motto is, 'If I can't tell a story like it is, there's no point in telling it at all!’ ~~~~~~~~~~Here's a skit I did for SwitchPlay~~~~~~~~~~ Moment In History

My Interests

Writing, film, music, and theater

I'd like to meet:

Who I'd Like to Meet? Positive People...I want to bring back pureness in films, stage, musicals and, videos that will uplift and portray positive images in our community. I feel that today's entertainment has sway far from telling the true essence of a story.Instead, they gear towards more explicit and, stereotyping images just for the sake of putting something out there. My vision is to bridge the gap, creating wholesome, modern day classics. I'm interested in working with producers, directors, actors, dancers, singers, and writers who share my same vision. It is my goal to bring back the elegance within the art.

giving you a sense of who i am,
when i'm quiet, or the lesser verbal, don't mistaken my approach as weak, or not being able to handle adversity, or as your being able to out talk me, like you've conquered, put me in my place or defeated me my silence is an precaution, and your constant yak yak, unveils the true spirit behind your mask, yeah, a sign that i need to watch you; study you
giving you a sense of who i am,
i'm kind, sympathetic to others, freely giving benefit 'of a doubt', embracing all's warmth, never analyzing one's faults, even though, i'm often analyzed as being insufficient, but that's cool cause see, my loved ones; my friends are chosen and few, so i know who is true, yeah, causing the unfaithful to stand erect as a showy displacement Yeah, i know who you are
giving you a sense of who i am,
i don't lose clarity in my own eyes, become dismantle from others perception of me, even when i'm momentarily weary see, cause, i know who i am, my weaknesses, my faults, my fears, before you point them out, obviously not knowing your own
