Creative with Purpose

As a creative, you are given a gift—a unique ability to see, shape, and share the world in ways that inspire, provoke, and transform. What you do with this gift is shaped by the purpose you give yourself. Purpose is the compass that guides your creativity, the force that gives your work depth and meaning.

For me, Wade in the Water: A Journey into Black Surfing and Aquatic Culture embodies this principle. It is a purpose-driven creation that helps me flourish as a creative while giving back to the community and passion that shaped me.

This project is more than a film; it is a love story to surfing, a path toward understanding, a door to conversations about heritage and belonging. Above all, it is creativity wielded to heal, uplift, and empower a community whose stories deserve to be told.

Find your purpose. Let it fuel your creativity. Use your gift to leave the world better than you found it. That is the power—and the responsibility—of a creative with purpose.
